Fraser Island is one of the most unusual islands in the world. Not only is it the largest sand island on Earth, 123 kilometres (76 miles) long and 22 kilometres (14 miles) wide, it is also the only place on Earth where rainforest grows on dunes over 200 metres high (656 feet). The island is also home to half the world's perched lakes, lakes formed when dune depressions permanently fill with rainwater.
Home to the purest dingo lineage in Eastern Australia and one of the best places in the world to see humpback whale calves and their mothers, Fraser Island's landscape is striking, with shifting sand blows, sensational swimming spots and action-packed 4x4 tracks. A World Heritage-listed wilderness with plenty of comfortable resorts, Fraser Island is the perfect place for a wild experience.
