Whilst Fraser Island (K’gari) is well known as one of the best places in Australia for hard-core four-wheel driving enthusiasts, it offers so much more, for kids, families, and well… everyone!
This is east coast Australia at its best – exploring surreal natural beauty, swimming in glistening turquoise blue lakes, seeing wild dingos roam on the lands and migratory whales from its shores. Needless to say, there are a lot of exciting attractions on Fraser Island.
One of the best things to do on Fraser Island is to go off-road and create your own tracks or follow those created by nature. The ever-changing landscape of an island made of sand means no day is the same, and no return visit will be the same either.
Fraser Island was a highlight of our big 18-month lap around Australia. Its original name, K’gari ( ‘paradise‘) comes from an Aboriginal Dreamtime story about a goddess named K’gari who fell in love with the earth and never wanted to leave.
I feel confident that when you visit K’gari, you will not want to leave this paradise either.
If you’re planning your first visit to Fraser Island but you’re not sure what to do, then read on to see our highlights and top attractions.
Is Fraser Island (K’gari) Worth Visiting?
Fraser Island stretches 123 km long and 23 km wide and is the largest sand island in the world, dumped over 800,000 years ago from places as far as Antarctica when it was still joined with Australia.
It is part of the Great Sandy National Park, which is split into two sections. The first is the Cooloola Recreation Area which is on the mainland (and includes Rainbow Beach and the Great Beach Drive). The second is Fraser Island.
Fraser Island is a World Heritage Site that’s constantly moving and evolving and is the only place in the world where tall rainforests are found growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 meters. And then there are the 1,000+ freshwater lakes.
With so much natural beauty, history, and iconic landmarks to explore, Fraser Island is definitely worth visiting.
