Spanning a length of over 123 kilometres and reaching a width of 22 kilometres at its broadest point, Fraser Island is not only renowned for its lush landscapes but also holds the title of being the largest sand island globally. It’s a natural wonder that captivates visitors with its diverse ecosystems and scenic beauty.
