For many, Fraser Island is the highpoint of their Australian adventure. Moulded and shaped by the forces of nature, it is the largest sand island in the world and home to endless beaches, freshwater lakes and dense rainforests. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a must as the roads are either rutted inland tracks, or on the majestic beach, that runs for 100 kilometres. Along the way, you can marvel at the wreck of the Maheno, explore the beautiful Eli Creek and swim at Champagne Pools. Accommodation of all standards can be found at Eurong, Happy Valley and the Cathedral Beach Resort.
