Fraser Island is the world largest sand island and the best way to explore it is to rent a 4×4. We started at 75-mile beach, which also happens to be a highway. Seriously, one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen with colored cliffs on one side and spectacular ocean on the other. Inland there are many lakes, like the one we swam at, Lake McKenzie, and trails through the rainforest. We got to stay at one of the resorts at the island, where I bought a bottle of wine to watch the beautiful sunset. Not that I’m a morning person, but I just felt I needed to see a little more of the island, so the next morning I woke up super early to go on a jog. Since the island is home to plenty of dingoes (wild dogs), I had to go with a German girl from my group through the woods to the beach and back. I think I’ve found my new favorite place in Australia.
