Fraser Island

Whale Watching

 

 Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world being 125km long and covering an area of 163,000 hectares, which has developed over a period of approximately 800,000 years.

The island is part of the Great Sandy Region, the section of coastline stretching from the north shore of the Noosa River below Lake Cooroibah and Cooloola National Park, to Sandy Cape at the northern tip of Fraser.

Its sand comes from the tablelands of northern New South Wales, washed into the sea by the big rivers of that area. Strong sea currents carried it north.

Fraser Island encompasses an amazing variety of landscapes, long surf beaches, cliffs and gorges in shades of orange, red, yellow and pure white sand, dense rainforests, vast, desert-like sandblows, freshwater lakes perched high up in its dunes, winding streams, great basalt headlands and salt pans with eerie mangrove forests.

If sand is the key to how Fraser Island was formed, then water has been the reason it has become so special. The island has an abundance of freshwater in its many lakes and crystal clear creeks and streams. Pristine clear mirror lakes and the peat-coloured perched lakes, are some of the largest of their kind in the world.

Each of the lakes has its own particular character. Mysterious, moody and beautiful, they are excellent subjects for photography, great places to see birds, other fauna and flora and a welcome oasis for the hot summer days.

Scenic 4WD circuits and walking tracks in the southern half of the island take in some of the largest of the lakes including McKenzie, Birrabeen, Benaroon and Boomanjin.
