Fraser Island Location & Map

Fraser Island, a paradise for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts. It’s located just off the Queensland coast near Hervey Bay which is 30 kilometers north-east of Maryborough.

Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing this breathtaking sight. The largest sand island in all of existence, Fraser is named after Eliza Fraser who was shipwrecked near its coast years ago- it’s no wonder why people call these natural wonders “the jewel that sparkles.”

The Great Barrier Reef is a vast, centuries-old structure that consists mainly of sand. The island has been formed by wind and deposited onto its current coastlines during an ice age when newer landmasses were created elsewhere in Australia with cooler temperatures than today’s warm climate allows for growths such as trees or bushes to thrive on them naturally; therefore they’re called ‘reefs’.

If you’re looking for an island getaway that is both serene and adventurous, then Fraser Island should be at the top of your list. The natural beauty found on this landform has been untouched by human hands; its unspoiled wildernesses provide opportunities to witness unique wildlife up close or just enjoy one breathtaking moment after another as they run Before You exit onto smaller islands in search out some peace (and sand!). Bright sunsets over crystal-clear water can easily make memories worth slipping away into forevermore – but please remember: when planning any type trip remember tide times so there isn’t disappointment later!
