We are now one month into our trip along the East Coast of Australia. Despite not being able to see everything along this 4000 km coast, there are some must-see\u2019s and some must-do\u2019s. K\u2019gari Island, the aboriginal and now official name of the more commonly known Fraser Island, is definitely a must-see. K\u2019gari, which is UNESCO World Heritage, is the largest sand island on the planet, covering an area of 1655 km<\/span>2<\/sup>\u00a0of pure sand. Sand islands, like K\u2019gari and the nearby Bribie, Moreton and North Stradbroke Islands were formed over thousands of years, and in this case almost a million. The Butchulla people, the local aboriginal community of K\u2019gari, are said to have lived on the island for more than 5000 years, perhaps even as long as 50,000 years. However, despite being a must-see, for its 75 mile long beach, wild dingoes, beautiful lakes, and many more; I am going to focus on a \u201cmust-do\u201d,\u00a0the\u00a0\u201cmust-do\u201d on the island. It\u2019s easy to find what you want to see in a given place, but the difficult part, is finding how best to experience it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n
