Memories of Fraser Island near Hervey Bay


A friend from Australia took these photos during his Easter vacation. He is the principal of Xavier Catholic College in Hervey Bay, Australia. He is visiting Boston this summer and I'm glad I will get to see him again.


He took me to Fraser Island, which is a 75 miles sand island off the northeast coast of Australia. The East Side has a precipitous drop-off at the continental shelf. No one goes into the water because of the sharp drop, which attracts many sharks. Though it looks serene, it is dangerous. The west side is less dangerous, though it has sharks on that side as well. The island has fascinating flora and vegetation.


It is great that four-wheelers are allowed on the sand. Many campers set up for their holiday. This island is for fresh air and fun.
