Fraser Island is located off the eastern coast of Australia in Queensland. It is the largest sand island in the world and is known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear lakes, and lush rainforests. The currency used in Australia is the Australian Dollar (AUD). The island is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a popular destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
The best time to visit Fraser Island is during the cooler months of April to September when the weather is mild and dry. The summer months from December to February can be hot and humid, with a higher chance of rain. It is important to note that the island can get crowded during school holidays and peak tourist seasons.
The main mode of transportation on Fraser Island is by 4WD vehicle as the island has sandy tracks and off-road terrain. Visitors can either bring their own 4WD vehicle on the barge to the island or rent one from the mainland. Guided tours are also available for those who prefer not to drive themselves.
Make sure to pack insect repellent as sandflies and mosquitoes can be prevalent on the island. Bring plenty of water and snacks as there are limited facilities on the island. Respect the wildlife and follow all guidelines for interacting with animals. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and pack layers. Book accommodations and tours in advance, especially during peak seasons. Take care to preserve the natural beauty of the island by following Leave No Trace principles.
