Fraser Island

Fraser Island

Welcome to World Heritage–listed Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island. Bushwalk through rainforest growing from the sand and heathlands full of wild flowers, and swim in mirrored lakes ringed with gold. Visit Lake McKenzie, picnic next to turtles at Lake Allom and spot whales from Indian Head. Discover the historic Maheno shipwreck in Happy Valley, and see kangaroos, wallabies and possums on a bushwalk into the interior. Learn how the island was formed and about its fascinating Aboriginal and pioneering history. It's easy to see why the Aboriginal owners called Fraser Island ‘K'gari,' or paradise.
