Tucked into the southern terminus of the Green Mountains of Vermont, Wilmington is a tiny village of just over 2,000 people.  It sits on the crossroads of Vermont Route 9, which runs east and west, and Vermont Route 100 , which runs the length of Vermont, from Massachusetts to Canada. While many small towns in Vermont and across the country have fallen on hard times, Wilmington is thriving. The town was hit hard by Hurricane Irene in 2011, with massive flooding and destruction of beloved buildings, but if anything, Irene seemed to bring the people of Wilmington, VT together, making it stronger, and more committed to embracing and promoting the charms of this beautiful mountain village.

This man made tourist mecca really is worth a visit even if you’re only on a stopover.

Usually, I am not much of a tour person but my parents were visiting and had booked this trip. It didn’t take me long though to know that Unique Fraser was going to indeed be unique. The simple fact our group was only six in a land cruiser was a good start. Unique Fraser Island Fraser Island is just off the coast of Queensland in eastern Australia. Famously know as being the worlds largest sand Island which spans over 120km. Rightly so, it has earned itself World Heritage Listed status. It is also the only known place that rainforest can grow on sand. Cool huh? With freshwater pools, a beach which doubles as a highway-come-airport, incredible look out points which drop down to mantas swimming below you ...
