Spread over a wide expanse of 124 km and covering an area of 163,000 hectares, this mesmerizing island is characterized by an amazing variety of landscapes, long surf beaches, cliffs and gorges in shades of orange, red, yellow and pure white sand, dense rainforests, vast, desert-like sandblows, freshwater lakes perched high up in its dunes, winding streams, great basalt headlands and salt pans with eerie mangrove forests. The beaches and forests are abode to more than 230 species of birds - one of the largest and most varied bird communities in Australia.
There are over forty two lakes on Fraser Island each with its own individual character - from lakes stained red with tannin to others with pure white sand and crystal clear water. Few mammal species are present on the island. The most common are bats, particularly flying foxes. The dingo population on the island is regarded as the most pure strain of dingoes remaining in eastern Australia. If you also bask in this wondrous land, join us on Travel to Fraser Island.
