Australia is home to many unique natural wonders and Fraser Island is no exception. It’s a natural beauty with over 250 kilometres of clear sandy beaches with long, uninterrupted sweeps of ocean beach, strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and spectacular sand blowouts. Inland from the beach is majestic remnants of tall rainforest growing on sandy dunes and half of the world’s perched freshwater dune lakes.
