Fraser Coast & K'gari
K'gari is the world’s largest sand island, stretching over 123 kilometres along the southern coast of Queensland. This rugged island features champagne pools, extensive beaches, towering pines, and over 100 freshwater lakes. It is the only place in the world where tall rainforests grow on the dunes.
The indigenous people of the region, the Butchulla people, named the island K’gari which means paradise. Here, you can discover shipwrecks, wild untamed waters while soaking up the salty sea air. Explore the subtropical rainforests, spot dingoes, and take a refreshing swim at the famous Lake McKenzie.
Get lost on white beaches, in eucalypt forests, and in lemon-scented swamp vegetation. If you're feeling adventurous, try the 90 kilometres Fraser Island Great Walk!
