Fraser Island

Fraser island is the largest sand island in the world and is just 45 minutes by ferry away from Hervey Bay.. It's 124 kilometers long and has an area of ​​163,000 hectares. There is a 35 kilometer-long beach that most use as a sort of highway to get to the various point of interest around the island. All vehicles on the island are 4-wheel drive so they can get through the thick vegetation at the island, There are trees over 200 years old and 40 meters high, freshwater lakes, a great diversity of birds (230 different species), and wild dingoes. The ferry from the coast to the island with the day tour costs $99 per person, which seems a little steep, but it's worth it.

If you're passing through Brisbane, make a stop at Fraser Island and rent a 4x4! You'll have an amazing time! The island was discovered by the famous Captain Cook in 1770 and is located about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. The island is 130 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide and was formed by the wind and currents over thousands of years. It's something you can't miss if you visit the east coast of Australia. I'd suggest visiting for two full days. Enjoy!
