This beach is 75 miles long. It is a registered highway with speed limits.
During my tour (I was on a guided coach tour, although it is possible to take your own off road vehicles onto the island) we stopped off at a handful of places that you can see in my recent and upcoming posts that I will link to the bottom off each post. However the road itself is worth the drive, with constantly changing landscapes on one side and whales swimming near shore on the other.
Our driver, ‘Waz Man’ according to his name badge, was a funny guy.
During the drive we stopped at a small on-beach airfield. This was part of the package, it seems like the tour have made an agreement with the flight company to offer a flight for a cost of $80. It isn’t a bad deal, but I opted not to. Four people got off the bus and flew, circling the beach and then overtaking the coach and landing about twenty minutes later. We met the plane, they got back on the bus and on we went.
The colour of the sands and rock vary here too, there is a lovely footpath we stopped at to take a closer look.
Look at the traffic!
The view below gives away what my next post will be.
Can you see what it is? See you again soon…
Part One: The Largest Sand Island in the World
Part Two: Lake Mckenzie
I can see why there are no brumbies on the beach, as there were 30 years ago when I was on Fraser – too many 4WD’s! 😉

That is probably the case, although our guide was still shocked not to see one! No doubt the vehicles deter them a little.

Wow that looks like a beautiful spot! I never would have thought a beach would be considered a road!

Neither would I AJ, it was pretty surreal to see the speed limits and multiple vehicles passing one another!

Woah that would be crazy to see as you don’t expect that on a beach!

A beach that’s a ‘highway’, crikey!! Can’t think of a more pleasant highway than that 😊🚙

It certainly is a highway I would be happy to drive over and over again!
