Fraser Island, Australia – Setting The Benchmark For Island Holidays.

The great country of Australia has a lot of world famous attractions and one of these in Fraser Island Queensland Australia. For anybody heading along the east coast, this is a must see stop over.

This Island is the biggest island made entirely of sand in the world and is a world heritage site. It is roughly midway down the east coast of the county and can be accessed from Brisbane 300 km to the south or from any area if you are taking a holiday on the Sunshine Coast. The climate in the region is temperate and stays warm and sunny for most of the year making is a perfect holiday destination.

In order to get to the island you need to cross over Hervey Bay and this will give you a great opportunity to engage in the best whale watching in the world. Humpback whales will pass through on the migratory run at certain times of the year and they are often playful and may stay alongside your boat for some time.

On the island itself there is so much on offer for you to enjoy. There are a lot of beaches all over the island which is obvious to say as it is made of sand. One such beach is roughly 70 km long and you will be able to use this stretch to go up in a plane and see the entire island from above.

You can also keep your feet on the ground and go on one of the tours that are operated. If you would rather explore on your own then you can also rent out a jeep and get out onto the sandy tracks. You will need at least a day to see the islands main attractions, but if you are short on time then a visit to Lake McKenzie is an absolute must.

When all is said and done, a trip to the eastern coast of Australia wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Fraser Island.

Australia is a country full of wonders. Any traveller to the country will find that they are surrounded by numerous attractions that they will simply not have the time to see and do everything. Inside info on Noosa Holiday Accommodation and Noosaville Accommodation Australia .
