Kilometers of perfect and idyllic seashores, natural and wildlife wonders, adventure and rare discoveries, more outback fun, with historical and cultural significance-surely, this Australian isle has captivated many eyes through the years that even having a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity exploring and experiencing its delights kept tourists looking for more.
Enclosed by salt water and formed entirely by sand, Fraser Island supports more than 100 fresh water lakes and numerous freshwater streams and rivers. Much of the water from the annual regular rainfall of 1600mm is absorbed into an enormous dome shaped water table under the sand hills.
A few of the noteworthy lakes and streams include: Eli Creek, that is the largest creek on the east coast of the island with a flow of 80 million litres every day. It is a popular picnic and swimming spot, with a boardwalk which follows the creek inland through banksia and pandanus. Swimming or floating down the swiftly flowing creek from the bridge at the far end is an ecstatic experience.
