The Cathedrals

Highlights

The Cathedrals on Fraser Island are a sight you won’t forget! These towering sand cliffs have been shaped by the wind and rain over thousands of years, creating spectacular layers of red, brown, yellow, and orange. Early morning is the best time to see the cliffs glow in the sunlight.

Located along the famous 75 Mile Beach, The Cathedrals are a perfect spot for photos, learning about natural history, or just marvelling at the size of Fraser Island’s sand dunes. It's a must-visit for anyone exploring the island!
