Picturesque Fraser Island
Fraser
Island located just off the south-eastern coast of Queensland and boasts
the label of being the world's largest sand island.
The entire
island is made of sand, all of the magnificent plant life that grows in
abundance throughout the island is growing in nothing but sand.
Fraser
Island was formed thousands of years ago by the ocean currents carrying
tiny particles of sand northwards and deposited them where the
island is located today.
The nature
of sand being so venerable to nature's elements causes the island to
constantly change shape and therefore continually evolving as the years
go by.
While
visiting the beautiful Fraser Island your experienced guide will offer
expert commentary on the island's ancient beginnings, the history of
human settlement, the Aboriginal Dream Time as well how Fraser Island
received her name.
In recent
times the island has played host to many different environmental
controversies such as the logging industry, the sand mining industry,
the removal of the brumbies as well as the control of the wild dingoes.
