FRASER ISLAND, Queensland - INTRODUCTION

Plus details of accommodation in Hervey Bay
 

 At 123 kms long, Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island and a 4WD vehicle is required to drive on it.  The island offers accommodation, walking tracks, freshwater lakes, surf beaches, sand dunes, coloured cliffs and rainforest.  Fraser is home to around 230 species of birds and 25 species of mammals.  The island's main gateway is Hervey Bay on the mainland, from where ferry services operate.   From August to October, the Hervey Bay area becomes a playground for herds of giant yet gentle Humpback whales as they make their way from the Antarctic.
