It covers an area of 184 000 sq. km and has sand dunes which rise to a height of 240 m. It is estimated that the sands which make up Fraser Island reach over 600 m below the sea.
Fraser Island is World Heritage listed and almost the entire island is protected National Park, ideal for camping, 4WD and bushwalking.
