Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island and lies off the coast of Queensland in north-eastern Australia.

Originally formed by oceanic and great wind currents that brought vast quantities of sand up the coast from as far south as Antarctica, this huge sandy mound is now home to a diverse array of natural wildlife and vegetation and is managed and preserved by the Queensland authorities as an Australian National Park.

Originally known as K’gari, meaning Paradise, by the indigenous Butchulla people, Fraser Island really is hard to beat when its comes to idyllic spots.

Definitely one of the best places I have visited in the world and a top recommendation for anyone travelling in Australia, here are the 6 best things to do Fraser Island – style!
