Made up of long stretches of pristine beach, impressive coloured-sand cliffs, rugged headlands, natural sand blows and more than 100 freshwater streams and lakes, Fraser Island is a nature lover's delight. It is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, most famously its dingo population as well as a variety of small mammals, turtles, wallabies, snakes and approximately 230 species of birds. During the annual migration of the humpback whales, these majestic creatures can also be seen off the coast.
There are also a number of walking tracks which run through the rainforests of the island and Seventy Five Mile Beach provides some of the world's best fishing. However despite its attraction as a holiday destination and four wheel driving hot spot, Fraser Island is World Heritage listed due to its environmental significance.
As the world's largest coastal sand dune system, Fraser Island is a precious part of Queensland's cultural and natural heritage. The continuing biological and geological processes of the ageing sand dunes of this dynamic natural wonder must be respected and protected for all to continue to enjoy.
