General Info:
Fraser Island, one of Australia's unique wilderness areas, is located
just over 200 kilometres north of Brisbane, the state capital of
Queensland. Because of Fraser Island's unique sand structure,
it has been included in the World Heritage List due to its
outstanding features. Fraser Island is over 123 kilometres long and
approximately 250 metres high; it is because of this that it is
specially managed by the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife
Service in the government Department of Environments.
Fraser Island was formed
from the sands that are carried by tides and the water currents up
the Queensland coast, from the Northern New South Wales
region. The forces of nature have formed the island purely of
sand, and it is for this reason that it is known as the largest sand
island in the world.
Four wheel drive vehicles are required to
negotiate the sandy environment of the island, both on the beach and
on the inland tracks and trails. Permits are required for all
vehicles crossing temporarily and they must be fixed to the
windscreen of the vehicle. |

The spectacular views of
the stunning lakes on Fraser Island are must see destinations.
The crystal clear freshwater lakes are sometimes stained with
vegetation floating down and gathering at the bottom of the lake;
Tea Tree lake as its name suggests is stained brown of the Tea Tree
leaves in its water. Many lakes are situated at different
locations around the island, some being McKenzie, Boomanjin, Wabby,
Birrabeen, Allom and Bowarrady. All are wonderful sights to
see, however, some are only accessible by foot i.e. Lake
Bowarrady. All lakes on the island are completely natural, and
most are perched lakes (formed by water catchments in the sand
dunes). |
