How much beach? 75 miles to be precise. The island at 90miles long is the largest sand island in the world. Renowned for its extensive system of sand dunes, rainforests, crystal-clear freshwater lakes and streams and diverse flora and fauna, Fraser Island is considered one of Australia's natural wonders.
Red Canyon and The Pinnacles are made entirely of solidified sand. Surrounded by lush vegetation they display striking bands of compacted ochre sand, of which there are estimated to be around seventy-two different colours.
My new-found friend, and hostess, Judi, sitting at the top of Indian Head. We were so lucky to be the only people there at the time. Judi said there are usually lots on Indian Head when she visits. Who told them I was coming?!!
View from Indian Head of the ocean to one side, and a pristine beach in the middle of the vegetation, the result of a sandblow.
