Variety is the spice of the world's largest sand island — 2 years ago
I’ve been there twice to the rainforest at Central Station, Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Lake Wabby, Indian head, Champagne Pools, Coloured Sands, Moheno Wreck, Eurong, Happy Valley, ? Basin Lake, Seventy-Five Mile Beach, Moon Point, Orchid Beach.
It’s a stunningly beautiful place.
It’s odd how a world heritage area can have little enclaves in the national parks where the rich people live, but they stop people camping on the beach because of environmental damage.
You really have to go out of your way to find out about the Indigenous history/culture of the place, but it’s easy to find out about its more recent European past – no different to anywhere else I guess.
But anyway, it’s a great place with so much variety, and interest in terms of geology and biology. A great relaxing holiday and learning experience.
