default Fraser Island...isola di sabbia

Fraser Island, in lingua aborigena locale K’gari, è la più grande isola di sabbia al mondo, con una superficie di 1840 km². Nel 1992 è stata inserita tra i Patrimoni dell’umanità dell’UNESCO. È amministrata dal Fraser Coast Regional Council. L’isola si trova al largo della costa orientale dello stato del Queensland, in Australia, a circa 300 km di distanza dalla città di Brisbane. Insieme all’isola di Cooloola forma la “grande regione sabbiosa”, estesa per circa 175 km in direzione nord-sud con una larghezza massima di 25 km ed un’altitudine mai superiore ai 260 metri sul livello del mare. L’area è tutelata come parco nazionale e rientra nel Great Sandy National Park.

Water crossings can provide some of the most exhilarating and challenging 4WDriving around. They can also prove to be the most expensive! A 4WD is not an amphibious vehicle, in fact they are not even waterproof. The actual depth that you can cross depends on your vehicle. For example, a stock LandCruiser may be submerged at the depth a raised Hilux doesn't even wet the door sills. As a general rule, if its above the top of your wheels its probably too deep. A water crossing should not be attempted by inexperienced or ill-prepared 4WDrivers. Prior to a water crossing, it is a good idea to place your recovery gear on top of other luggage. The last thing you want to do is be searching under your fridge, tents and luggage for your recovery gear when you are stuck in the middle of a crossing.
