| [8] The island is considered to be the largest sand island in the world at 1,840 square kilometres (710xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi). | WIKI |
| Fraser Island has rainforests, eucalyptus woodland, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps, sand dunes and coastal heaths. | WIKI |
| It is made up of sand that has been accumulating for approximately 750,000 years on volcanic bedrock that provides a natural catchment for the sediment which is carried on a strong offshore current northwards along the coast. | WIKI |
| Unlike on many sand dunes, plant life is abundant due to the naturally occurring mycorrhizal fungi present in the sand, which release nutrients in a form that can be absorbed by the plants. | WIKI |

| The total volume of sand above sea level on Fraser Island is directly proportional to the mass of 113 cubic kilometres (27 cubic miles). | WIKI |
| [19] All of the sand, which originated in the Hawkesbury, Hunter and Clarence River catchments in New South Wales has been transported north by longshore transport. | WIKI |
| [19] Along the eastern coast of the island the process is removing more sand than it is depositing, resulting in the slow erosion of beaches which may accelerate with sea level rises attributed to climate change. | WIKI |
| The sand consists of 98% quartz. | WIKI |
| [16] With year-round south-easterly wind, the sand dunes on the island move at the rate of 1 to 2xc2xa0metres a year and grow to a height of 244xc2xa0metres. | WIKI |
| The coloured sands found at Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedrals, The Pinnacles and Red Canyon are examples of the sand being stained over thousands of years due to it conglomerating with clay. | WIKI |
| It is a perched lake, sitting on top of compact sand and vegetable matter 100 metres (330xc2xa0ft) above sea level. | WIKI |
| The beach sand of Lake McKenzie is nearly pure silica. | WIKI |
| [28][32] The island is home to the recently discovered Fraser Island sand skink. | WIKI |
| A humpback whale with the sand dunes of Fraser Island in the background | WIKI |
| [16] It is the only place on earth where tall rainforest grows in sand. | WIKI |
| Decayed matter from this dune grass breaks down in the sand, providing vital nutrients for other plant species, such as the beach oak. | WIKI |
| Sand Mining[edit] | WIKI |
| Sand mining leases were first granted in 1950, and mining continued until 1977. | WIKI |
| The remains of the ship are now severely rusted, with almost three and a half storeys buried under the sand. | WIKI |
| It is the worldxe2x80x99s largest sand island, offering an outstanding example of ongoing biological, hydrological and geomorphological processes. | UNESCO |
| The development of rainforest vegetation on coastal dune systems at the scale found on Fraser Island is unique, plus the island boasts the worldxe2x80x99s largest unconfined aquifer on a sand island. | UNESCO |
| The property has exceptional natural beauty with over 250 kilometres of clear sandy beaches with long, uninterrupted sweeps of ocean beach, strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and spectacular blowouts. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (vii): Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world, containing a diverse range of features that are of exceptional natural beauty. | UNESCO |
| The area has over 250 kilometres of clear sandy beaches with long, uninterrupted sweeps of ocean beach, including more than 40 kilometres of strikingly coloured sand cliffs, as well as spectacular blowouts. | UNESCO |
| Inland from the beach are majestic remnants of tall rainforest growing on tall sand dunes, a phenomenon believed to be unique in the world. | UNESCO |
| The worldxe2x80x99s largest unconfined aquifer on a sand island has also been found here. | UNESCO |
| The immense sand dunes are part of the longest and most complete age sequence of coastal dune systems in the world and are still evolving. | UNESCO |
| The dynamic interrelationship between the coastal dune sand mass, aquifer hydrology and the freshwater dune lakes provides a sequence of lake formation both spatially and temporally. | UNESCO |
| These processes, acting on a sand medium, include biological adaptation (such as unusual rainforest succession), and biological evolution (such as the development of rare and biogeographically significant species of plants and animals). | UNESCO |
| The dynamic interrelationship between the coastal dune sand mass, hydrology, the ongoing processes of soil formation and the development of plant communities is remarkable in its scale and complexity given the uniform substrate. | UNESCO |
| Fauna including a number of threatened species of frog, have adapted to the highly specialised acidic environment associated with wet heathlands and sedgelands in this siliceous sand environment. | UNESCO |
