Our guide drove us around in a 4 wheel drive bus and took us to beautiful fresh water lakes, magical looking sand formations, sand blows and rain forests. With the whole island being sand it is fascinating that trees can grow on it and that animals can live there. The island has a large population of Dingos (Australian wild dogs) and a large variety of native Australian forests.
The beach that runs along the entire east coast is the islands main highway. It was thrilling to drive 80 kilometers an hour at high tide and race the waves coming in. The inland sand roads have bumps like ski moguls and reminded us of constant roller coaster rides.
If you ever go to Australia, make sure you don't miss Fraser Island and request to have ranger Les as your guide.
