Deemed as the biggest sand island on earth, Fraser Island lies at the southern coast of Queensland Australia. It is a World Heritage-listed natural wonder, formed over hundreds of thousands of years as winds, waves, and ocean currents transported sands from the eastern river systems of Australia to the continental shelf, and in towards the land to form a string of sand islands over the Queensland region.
Flanked by salt water and formed entirely by sand, Fraser Island hosts over a hundred freshwater lakes and various freshwater streams and rivers. A lot of of the water from the yearly average rainfall of 1600mm is contained into a huge dome shaped water table under its dunes. Visiting more than 40 freshwater lakes, fast flowing creeks, huge sand blows, breathtaking rainforest, and colored sands in Fraser Island will be an experience of a lifetime.
