Fraser island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted pristine white sandy beaches, and over 90 freshwater lakes.
The island is over 120 kilometres in length and over 20 kilometres wide.
Ancient rain-forests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing, crystal-clear creeks. Fraser Island is the only place in the world where tall Rain-forests are found growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 metres.
In 1925 the Satinay (AKA Fraser island Turpentine Tree) became the major timber logged on the island after it was found to be resistant to marine borers and became invaluable for use in marine applications such as wharf and jetty construction.
Satinays were used in the building of the Suez Canal and the rebuilding of the London docks after World War II.
In 1836 Captain James Fraser on the brig Stirling Castle was wrecked at Swain’s Reef, north of Fraser Island. The survivors travelled south in a life boat and eventually found themselves marooned on Fraser Island.
Of them, only Eliza Fraser, the wife of Captain Fraser, lived to return to the mainland and the island was subsequently named after her.
Sailing today off Fraser is relatively safe and
very picturesque.
