Fraser Island, Australia

At the east coast of Australia there is the scenic Fraser Island. It became famous thanks to incredibly picturesque sand dunes. The coast is completely covered with white sand. Dense tropical forests lie in center. Some parts of the coast are shallow. These places are incredibly scenic; azure water together with white sand dunes form truly surreal landscapes. Fraser Island has another great feature; there are 40 freshwater lakes within its territory. Sometimes they are called the Hanging Lakes.

Travellers will be able to see one of the largest sandy beaches in the world on Fraser Island. The length of its coast is 100 km. There you can walk through the pristine mangrove and eucalyptus forests. The lakes are attractive, as they are inhabited by freshwater turtles. Another typical representative of the local fauna is wild Dingo dog. An area of Fraser Island is 1 840 square km. That’s the largest sand island in the world.

It remains an attractive destination for fans of unusual excursions. There you can participate not only in day trips, but in incredibly amazing night tours, during which you can see animals that are especially active at night. Boat trips along the coast also enjoy a great popularity. At certain times of the year, you can see dolphins, killer whales, dugongs, and other species of marine life off the coast of Fraser Island.
