Island in Australia is the largest sand island in the world and a world
heritage listed site. This is situated on the south eastern coast of Queensland
and it is a locality within the Fraser Coast local government in the Wide Bay-
Burnett region. The entire island looks like nature has designed it at leisure
as each and every part of this sandy island look absolutely amazing at anytime
of the year. Though it has a sandy terrain you will be surprised to find
rainforests, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps and about 100 fresh water
lakes which are some of the cleanest lakes in the world. Eli’s Creek is the
largest fresh water creek here with a flow of 80 million litres per day. Due to
this abundance of fresh water and vegetation there are plenty of animals which
include swamp wallabies, echidnas, ringtail and bushtail possums, flying foxes
and bandicoots. For nature lovers this place is like a paradise and this is
exactly what the Butchulla had named the island
