Wanting to take a

Australia. This oceanic country is known for its picturesque islands, sun
kissed beaches, abundance of vegetation, mountains, sand dunes and a marine
parks that have an incredible variety of flora and fauna. This country has a
number of world heritage listed sites including the largest sand island in the
world; Fraser Island. Located along the south- eastern coast of Queensland, it
covers a massive area of 1,840 square kilometres and stretches for about 120
kilometres in length. The unique biodiversity of the area, its rich aboriginal
history, European occupation and how initially it was discovered by Captain
James Cook and later by Matthew Flinders is enough to arouse anyone’s
curiosity. The renaming of the island which initially was known as the Great
Sandy Island after the rescue of Eliza Fraser gives a kind of mysterious
