Long
white beaches, dramatic coloured-sand cliffs, natural sand blows, rocky
headlands and pristine freshwater lakes and streams are some of the Fraser
Island's natural features.
Stretching
over 120km and covering an area of 165,280ha, Fraser Island is the most
prominent feature off Queensland's southern coast. It is the world's largest
sand island and a place of remarkable natural beauty.
The
Creation of the island sand mass, its dynamic nature, and the ageing process
of the dunes are superb examples of continuing geological and biological
processes. The universal importance of these outstanding features was
recognised through the island's World Heritage Listing.
Being
a World Heritage listed site, Fraser Island joins the ranks of the Great
Barrier Reef, Uluru and Kakadu National Parks as being of universal
significance as the largest coastal dune system and sand island in the world
and for its special environments. As a precious part of Queensland's natural
and cultural heritage, it is protected for all to appreciate, enjoy and
respect. Why Wait Do It Now!
