Say hello to the world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island! Known as K’gari (meaning paradise) by the traditional owners, the Butchulla people, this World Heritage-listed island’s diverse landscapes and unique wildlife entices thousands of tourists to its shores each year. Located just 360km north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, and just a short 40-minute boat ride from the mainland here in Hervey Bay.
Built over hundreds of thousands of years, beyond K’gari’s ancient sand dunes and long stretches of beautiful beaches boasts crystal clear freshwater lakes and creeks (did someone say Lake McKenzie?), lush rainforests and an abundance of native flora and fauna to explore. Fraser Island offers camping, cabin, and resort-style accommodation to suit all types of holidaymakers. Eco-adventures on the island include cruises discovering the untouched beauty of the remote western side, a 90km Great Walk adventure, and guided or self-drive tours.
