Fraser Island
( Do not miss ) At 121km long, this extraordinary World Heritage Site is the world's largest sand island. Yet with extensive rainforest, over 40 freshwater lakes, long sandy beaches, and strangely coloured sand cliffs this is a surprisingly varied environment. The wildlife - including dingoes and wallabies - is prolific, making the island the perfect destination for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Fraser Island is reached by vehicular ferry and a four-wheel-drive vehicle is necessary, unless taking one of the many tours.
