This is the Official Representative Page of World Heritage listed Fraser Island located in the Fraser Coast, Queensland, Australia.
World Heritage listed Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and a contradiction of well respected natural conventions. It is home to untouched freshwater lakes and creeks, including some of the world’s rarest dune lakes. Wetlands, heath decorated with wildflowers and 1,000 year old rainforest trees all thrive from nothing more than sand. Seventy Five Mile Beach is a stunning natural highway complete with a shipwreck and cliffs of coloured sands.
Whether you believe that Fraser Island or K’Gari, meaning paradise, is the creation of Mother Nature or in fact the earthly incarnate of Yindingie the messenger of Aboriginal god Beiral, Fraser Island’s mirrored lakes, rebellious rainforests, mesmerising sand blows and historic icons are simply unforgettable.

Rainforests require high rainfall and rich soil to thrive, but for the past 800,000 years rich rainforests have defied Mother Nature and called Fraser Island home. All the Island’s landscapes provide protection to some 350 species of birds, wallabies, possums, echidnas and Australia’s purest dingoes.
Its lakes and the ocean that surround are home to fresh water turtles, dolphins, dugongs and of course humpback whales during their migration between May and November. Fraser Island’s abundant flora and fauna create an irreplaceable natural attraction for tourists and where once the subject of great Aboriginal celebrations.
