Brisbane hotels provide all modern facilities

Brisbane is very good vacation place for business and leisure purpose. The island is a place of exceptional beauty, a miracle of nature. Too precious to spoil, too fragile an ecosystem to mess with. Hence the poo farm. In fact, nothing is brought onto the island - plant or animal life - which could bring disease. So, leave your pets at home.
The award-winning Kingfisher Bay Resort opened in 1992 and is in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings. Nestled among tree-covered dunes on the edge of the pale blue waters of the Great Sandy Strait, it blends with the island. It is distinctly Queensland in style with native-timber buildings. Curving tin roofs suggest the rolling sand dunes which typify Fraser Island. Colours are of the surroundings - greens, burgundy and golden browns.
Our day-long tour with senior guide Alan Souter has taken us 160km around the island. We've seen lush rainforests and some of the dozens of freshwater lakes of crystal clear water that has filtered through sand for up to 100 years. We've fringed mighty sandblows that have been thrown up by wind and sea.
We're sitting now atop a knoll on the world's largest sand island, tucking into a picnic lunch. Below us is a 90km unbroken stretch of beach, known as 75 Mile Beach. The sea is many shades of blue-green. A whale and her calf are cruising just beyond the breakers. Brisbane hotels are very hospitable.
Down the golden beach are the coloured sands of the Pinnacles and the rusted wreck of the luxury passenger ship, the Maheno, which has attracted tourists since it went aground in 1935.
A dingo has shown up. It stares at us momentarily and then lopes off along the beach. Fraser Island is well known for its wild dingo population, among the purest of the breed anywhere in Australia.
