K'Gari (Fraser Island)

Highlights

Fraser Island, also known as K’gari, is a giant sand island with rainforests, lakes, and incredible beaches. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake McKenzie, hike through the rainforests, or climb a sand dune for a view you’ll never forget. Keep an eye out for dingoes – they’re part of what makes the island special!

You can also paddle in a canoe, fish for dinner, or learn about the Butchulla people who have lived here for thousands of years. It’s an adventure-packed destination for anyone who loves nature.

Adult Supervision Recommended
