123 kilometers north and south when passing through the east coast.
There is a sandy road with a maximum width of about 22 km, the world-famous "75mile beach".
The paved road on the Island is only a part of the area around the hotel, and the whole world is off-road.
The fine sand is a sand road that is comfortable enough to run a four-wheel drive vehicle.
All of them are World Heritage Sites.
There are 200 large and small lakes,
such as a lake where powder sand can be seen through and a lake where it looks black and muddy.
I'm curious about where this large amount of sand comes from.
More than 5,000 whales migrate to Hervey Bay right in front of you around September.

I could spend a leisurely time on any Island, but I didn't like to know
that I would ride a four-wheel drive car like the one running in the Paris-Dakar Rally.
Off-road beyond imagination will be taken by the sand unless you are a skilled driver.
In the olden days, roads made for the timber industry seem to have roots and jumps violently.

A natural treasure that incorporates the environment.
In order to leave the world's natural heritage to the next generation, we are focusing on nature conservation, so we will not build paved roads.
The hotel has won the Environmental Tourism Award as an eco-resort.
We are also willing to cooperate in preserving the natural environment as one of the people who convey it.

There is a whale watching (100A $) every day from August to October.
Whales returning to Antarctica recuperate in this bay to raise baby whales at this time.
Parents and children head to Antarctica from the end of November.
This Island will be the 68th Island of "Island Tour of the Earth".
It is strange that we also start our journey to Antarctica at the same time.
Hervey Bay Whale Watching
The only place in the world where forests grow on sand
From ancient times, the indigenous Aborigines called it Gari (paradise).
Usually, when we think of an "Island," we imagine what was formed by the uplift of a submarine volcano or a coral reef, but Fraser Island is a sandy Island that floats in the sea.
There is more subtropical forest on this Island than in the Sahara Desert.
