Fraser Island

Just to the south of the Great Barrier Reef and the Tropic of Capricorn, Fraser Island lies like a sprawling lizard. Some 120 kilometers long and up to 25 kilometers wide, Fraser Island is now the largest sand island on Earth. Somehow on this nutrient poor bed of sand life has thrived. Dingoes patrol its forests in search of wallabies while white-bellied sea eagles scour the beaches from above. From the lakes to the forests and its crystal clear streams - Fraser Island is a unique mosaic of unlikely habitats that have earned it World Heritage Status.
