Fraser Island, yet another of Australia's unmatchable UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is the only place in the world where towering rain forests are rooted in sand. It holds title to being the largest sand island in the world, a sliver of real estate that includes a 75-mile (121 km) stretch of drivable beach and 72 shades of sand, mostly reds and yellows. Land and sea life abound with wallabies, dingos and whales on view. To get there, fly to the Fraser Coast and then take a 50-minute ferry ride. Accommodations on the island and in nearby Hervey Bay range from campgrounds to fancy resorts.
