Fraser Island

Fraser Iceland - an island of sand

The 120 km long and 15 km wide Fraser Iceland is the largest sand island in the world and the only place around the world increases the rain forest on sandy soil. The tours usually go out of Hervey Bay and begin with a brief Fährenfaht, then it continues with an all-wheel drive bus on the bumpy dirt roads.

Very scenic is one of the 200 freshwater lake, the Lake McKenzie. The blue water is a wonderful contrast to the almost snow-white sand of almost pure silicon. If it had not yet arrived six other tour buses at the same time, I could enjoy the view almost unlimited.

From the Central Station you can take on very many lovely walks through the rainforest and admire the trees and plants in giant version, just a shame that we had only 20 minutes time, since we had more for lunch.

Here you will find colored by minerals sand dunes and the wreck of the SS Maheno which is stranded here in 1935 after a storm.
