Fraser Island

I travelled to Fraser Island from the town of Hervey Bay on the East coast of Australia.

It is the worlds largest sand island, and is a World Heritage Site. The island has areas of rain forrest, and large sandblows which work their way inland. It is home to the purest breeds of dingoes, supporting a population of around 150.

Fraser is a highlight of many backpacker's trips down the East Coast, and is popularly done as part of a self-drive 4x4 package. I decided this was not for me - I am not a good passenger, and being squeezed into a jeep with eleven other, driven by an teenager fueled by alcohol and machismo was something I worried about.

I chose to visit Fraser by going on a guided tour - a decision I was very pleased with. We got to see all the highlights of the island and learnt a lot on our journey. I was also able to party hard with like minded people.
