Why Top:
The world’s largest sand island. The dunes that make it up were formed about 400 thousand years ago and are up to 240 meters high.
Description:
K’gari (Fraser Island) lies just off the east coast of Australia. At 122 km long, it is the largest sand island in the world. Majestic remnants of tall rainforest growing on sand and half the world’s perched freshwater dune lakes are found inland from the beach. The combination of shifting sand-dunes, tropical rainforests and lakes makes it an exceptional site.
