WOULD you know where to go to survive a zombie apocalypse?

A Map of the Dead doing the rounds on the internet shows Fraser Island to be the "perfect location" to escape the living dead.

Fraser Island Adventure Tour operator Greg Anderson said it was definitely an extra-selling point for tourists to venture to the golden sandy shores of the island.

Science fiction and post-apocalyptic expert Dr Greg Nash said it wasn't a surprise somewhere with a barrier of water would be top of the list of hideouts when the dead rise from their graves.

He said dead loved ones wanting to eat you were one of the more believable end-of-the-world scenarios.

Dr Nash said in contemporary life there was a "serious lack of adventure" and the "lines between fantasy and the mundane" blurred easily.

"It is escapism at its best," he said.

"The media, movies, games and books all contribute to how these sorts of apocalyptic scenarios become something people actually consider.

"Australia is the ideal location to survive a zombie apocalypse due to its isolation, small population and abundance of wildlife and water."

Five-year-old Tyler Dawson Conquest said he would not try to escape to Fraser Island but stay and fight.

He said he would make sure his parents were safe, but believed he had a few moves to defend himself against the zombies.

"It could happen. You never know," Tyler said.

"It would be pretty cool if there were real-life zombies, like there are in the movies."

Dr Nash said conversations about where you would go during a zombie attack were popping up more frequently in society, not only among children but also adults. He said he didn't believe it to be a negative thing, but served as an outlet for people who lived a "normal life".

"It is taking escapism to a new level.

"It is a way to have adventure without being adventurous."

He said a lot of things happened that you never expected, but zombie apocalypse was at the other of the spectrum.

Mr Anderson said a zombie apocalypse would definitely be good for business but still hoped it wouldn't eventuate.
