Taking a break at anytime of the year is refreshing
but at the end of the year there is a kind of excitement and a sense of joy
which is all pervading. With majority of the people planning holidays at this
time of the year the tourism industry see a huge rush and the tour companies
offer good discounts to remain ahead of their counterparts. If you too are
planning to take a break and are looking for a place that is warm and sunny to

winter days and so it’s great to plan a visit and enjoy the sunshine, sand and
the sea which go hand in hand. Though there are a lot to see and do in this
beautiful place you can start with Fraser Island Tours,
the largest sand island in the world and a world heritage listed site.
Occupied by the Butchulla tribes some 5000 years ago
this island has maintained its pristine beauty being part of the great sandy
national park and amply justified by the name given by the earliest occupants-
K’gari which in English means paradise. Later in time it was discovered by
explorer James Cook who sailed by the island and it was Matthew Flinders who
landed here in 1802. The island got its name when the stories of a shipwreck
survivor, Eliza Fraser became famous and till today it continues to fascinate
the visitors with its natural beauty and is considered to be one of the most
popular holiday destinations in the world.
The most fascinating part of the island are the fresh
water lakes, the hills which have been formed due to sand blowing and finding
lush green vegetation in a terrain that is made up of sand. As tourism industry
is quite big you will come across several tour operators in this area and
