Fraser Island

 

In 1972 UNESCO adopted the World Heritage Convention to protect the unique areas of all humanity. Fraser Island was a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992 for the purpose of recognizing its natural heritage.

The official document recognizes the island's "outstanding natural beauty" and refers to "more than 250 km of sandy beaches with long, undisturbed sea lakes, more than 40km of brightly colored cliffs of sand, and dense volcanic eruptions and lush tropical rainforests; ; Deforested dams include freshwater "white water" and black ponds "black water"; bankiia forests, heath, peripheral patterns and mangrove protected areas in the spectacular "colored world."

Fraser Island provides a world-class example of ecological processes and evolution, including: the formation of complex coastal dunes that are still developing; a range of lakes that differ in number, diversity, age and evidence of dynamic and developmental stages; and outstanding examples of ecosystems that have evolved due to marine conditions and poor soil in coastal dunes.

The whole island is part of the Great Sandy National Park (excluding rights areas such as townships) and is protected under the Nature Conservation Act of 1992 and the Recreation Management Act of 2006 to the shallow water
