Discover extensive areas of the Fraser Island
The giant dunes, freshwater lakes, and sculpted, colored sands of the world’s largest sand island form the backdrop to popular 4WD safaris. A glorious offshore Eden, Fraser Island (or K’gari) is the world’s largest sand island. It measures 123km from top to bottom. Accreted from two million years’ worth of sediments, swept north from New South Wales. Fraser Island is one of the coolest Australian places to visit in Australia because of its 75-mile-long beach! It’s one of the longest in the world. Rent a four-wheel drive truck in the town of Noosa and start your adventure to one of the wildest drives you’ll ever have. It’s an island with sand dunes, dingos, tidal pools, and shipwrecks.
Fraser Island’s colossal scale is best appreciated as the travel is the 90km length of its razor-edge east coast. With the sea as a constant, the dunes along the shoreline seem to evolve before your eyes. On the beach itself, 4WD vehicles race along the open sands. There’s no denying a 4WD is one of the best ways to experience all the many terrains of Fraser Island. It’s also the easiest way to tick off the holy trinity of Central Station, Lake McKenzie, and 75 Mile Beach in a single day. Fraser Explorer Tours - one of the best things to do in Australia - crisscross the island with a mix of beach and forest driving. Their large bus is made for off-roading with custom wheels, big windows for spotting wildlife, and silky-soft suspension.
