There comes a time when you want to let go of your tensions and worries and plan a trip to a place where you can be as close to the nature as possible. However much the man has tried to beautify his surroundings nature always goes a notch higher. The beauty of the majestic mountains, vastness of the desert, sparkling waters of the river and the mysterious water parks be awe inspiring and make you wonder at their creation. Though Australia has all these above mentioned places it’s the sea and the mile long beaches that will catch your eye and before you realize you would be on your way to this magical place with its cold summer and warm winter days.Fraser Island Tourism, located along the South eastern coast of Queensland is one such amazing destinations and remains on top of the list for most of the tourists. A heritage listed place; this happens to be the largest sand island in the world and its diverse ecology and unique bio diversity make it a must visit place in Australia. This island is just around 300 kilometres from Brisbane, the capital city of the state of Queensland. You can take a ferry ride but then most of the people opt for 4WD and enjoy the scenic beauty on the way. Though there is no dearth of tour operators owing to the large number of tourists coming here, you have to choose one that is reliable and will give you the best possible tour package. Most of the tourists opt for Sunset Safaris, the most popular tourism company and winner of the certificate of excellence from Trip Advisor. They operate from Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Noosa and so it’s pretty convenient to choose a pick up point that’s closest to your place of stay. They have 2/3 day package to see Fraser Island but then you can take their 6 days package and combine it with the visit to the Great Barrier Reefs.
The Fraser Island Tours package will include free pick up and drop and on top of it you get a free tour of the famous Cooloola National Park. This park is right next to the island and here you will get a chance to see the colourful Rainbow beach, Red Canyon, see wild kangaroos in Noosa, watch the marine animals from Double Island Points and go for 4WD on the Teewah beach. The Fraser Island adventure continues with a drive along the 75 mile beach and later in the day you can relax in the Eurong Resort and enjoy a buffet dinner before taking a walk or joining the beach party. There will be a lot of places to visit and you should be prepared for a busy but an extremely exciting day. This island is a study in contrast as there are huge sand dunes, sand blows which give you a feeling of being in a desert, lush green rainforests and numerous lakes and champagne pools that will lure you into jumping in. The major attractions here include the Yidney Dripping Rock, Hammerstone Sandblow, the Cathedrals, Eli’s Creek, Indian Head and the Maheno shipwrecks. The visitors are also taken to Central station, Woongoolba creek and also for the Pile valley walk.
The Maheno shipwreck site is great for swimming and snorkelling as the water is clean and totally calm. Not only you will enjoy watching the marine animals but at the same time marvel at the nature and its unique creations. Night kayaking is an optional activity which one shouldn’t miss. Going out in the transparent kayaks in the dark, with the underwater lights to guide you can be an experience that will remain fresh in your memory in times to come.
