Created over hundreds of
thousands of years from the sand that had drifted from the mainland Australia, World
Heritage Listed Fraser Island is one of the most beautiful sand islands in the entire
world. Covering a huge area of 184,000 hectares this is also the largest sand
island and one of those places where you will get an opportunity to see the
nature in all its glory. Protected by the Great Sandy National park, it has
been very well preserved and till date you will not find any negative impacts
of time and going there you will realize the truth behind its original name.
The earliest known people to be staying here were the Butchulla Tribes who had
named it k’gari meaning paradise and it makes one realize how astute those
ancient people were. Later in time it was Captain James Cook who sailed by the
island in 1770 and Matthew Flinders who landed in the northern point of the
island in 1802.
The island which was then
known as the Great Sandy Island was later named after a shipwreck survivor
Eliza Fraser whose story of survival, capture by the natives and rescue
operation make for an interesting discussion as you sit out to enjoy the
campfire during your stay. To see and explore all the major attractions of this
wonderful island most of the tourists both domestic and those coming from
abroad choose Sunset Safaris for their tour packages. Being in the Fraser Island
