Feb 12, 2010 Multimedia | Video
Fraser Island, is an island located along the southern coast of Queensland, Australia, approximately 300 kilometres (three and a half hour drive) north of Brisbane. Its length is about 120 kilometres. It was inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1992.The island is considered to be the largest sand island in the world at 1840 km².Its resident human population was 360 at the census of 2006, of whom 11 were Indigenous Australians. It is administered by the Fraser Coast Regional Council.
Fraser island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and over 100 freshwater lakes, with their own individual character. Some tea-coloured and others clear and blue all ringed by white sandy beaches. Swimming in these lakes on Fraser Island is a memorable experience.
Fraser Island is the only place in the world where tall rainforests are found growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 metres. The low “wallum” heaths on the island are of particular evolutionary and ecological significance, and provide magnificent wildflower displays in spring and summer.
This video is about my trip in Fraser Island where I spent my holiday with my family. Yes, it’s more about family. Soon, I’ll make an article about this amazing place. Just relax and enjoy.
