Fraser Island stretches over 123 kilometres in length and 22 kilometres at its

widest point. With an area of 184 000 hectares it is the largest sand island in the

world. Fraser Island's World Heritage listing ranks it with Australia's Uluru, Kakadu

and the Great Barrier Reef. Fraser Island is a precious part of Australia's

natural and cultural heritage, it is protected for all to appreciate and enjoy. Fraser Island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white

beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and over 100 freshwater lakes,

some tea-coloured and others clear and blue all ringed by white sandy beaches.

Ancient rainforests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing, crystal-clear

creeks. Fraser Island is the only place in the world where tall rainforests are found

growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 metres.

The low "wallum" heaths on the island are of particular

evolutionary and ecological significance, and provide

magnificent wildflower displays in spring and summer. Join David and Annetta for a Christmas to remember on

beautiful Fraser Island plus dining with the Tigers at

Australia Zoo.
