Fraser
Island is a long day trip from Noosa. Typically the tour
crosses the Noosa river by ferry and then drives along
the North Shore and across on the barge to Fraser Island
at Inskip Point. A day is spent on Fraser Island where
you can drive on the beach, visit the rainforest and
the many beautiful lakes. The journey back uses the
4WD tracks in the Noosa hinterland.A tour takes a full
day and is a very worthwhile tour to make from Noosa.
Fraser
Island Excursions offer tours in Land Cruisers from
Noosa.
Fraser Island Fly Drive Package
Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and a World Heritage Site. The original name for Fraser Island is ‘K'Gari' meaning paradise. Fraser Island is approximately 125 kilometres from north to south. Airborne nutrients and seeds have accumulated until vegetation could gain a hold, and then the decaying vegetable matter has allowed other plants and trees to grow, and forests have sprung up. Not all of Fraser Island is covered with vegetation some is composed of shifting dunes. There are no surfaced roads on Fraser Island . The beach acts as the main north south highway, with tracks crossing the island. A four-wheel-drive is a necessity.
