For help planning your holiday,

visitqueensland.com or visitfrasercoast.com

Don’t forget to bring along a conditions report every time

you visit. Search for K’gari (Fraser Island) Conditions Report

on qld.gov.au/nationalparks or pick up a copy from a QPWS

information centre at Tewantin or Rainbow Beach.

Choose your camp site

With 45 camping areas across the island you are bound to find some to suit your style.

Beach campingUnfenced beach camping areas are located behind the

foredunes at specific sites along the eastern beach. Use the

access tracks. Don’t drive on the dunes—the vegetation is

quickly damaged but slow to recover. This is camping in the

rough, so bring everything you need, including a portable

toilet to make your stay more comfortable. Portable toilet

waste disposal facilities are marked on the map.

Get away from the crowds and camp on the western beach.

Boaties love these camp sites and so do mosquitoes and

midges. Camping here is best in the cooler, drier months

of August–October, but always bring insect repellent.

Small generators—sound-rated at 65 decibels or about

2.0Kva—are permitted (9am–9pm) where indicated on

the map.

Large groups and schoolsCamping with your friends is lots of fun. Four group

camping areas—Dundubara, Waddy Point (top),

Central Station and Cornwells—cater for 20–40 people.

Family-friendly campingChoose a camping area with a dingo deterrent fence.

Highly recommended if you have children 14 years and under.

Select from Central Station, Dunduburra, Waddy Point (top)

and Lake Boomanjin.

CampfiresEnjoy a campfire? Use communal fire rings at Dundubara and

Waddy Point camping areas, when no fire prohibitions are

in place. Only untreated milled timber (or mill off-cuts) can

be used. Supervise children around the fire and put it out

completely with water not sand, when you leave your camp

site or retire for the night.

Campfires are not permitted anywhere else on K’gari (Fraser

Island) Recreation Area. Collecting bush wood and kindling

is not allowed. Penalties apply for campfires and collecting.

Look up and look outThe eastern beach is Queensland’s sandiest national

highway. Some parts are also a landing strip for authorised

small planes. Give way to planes landing or taking off.

Aircraft landing zones are clearly marked with cones

and signs and ground crew will direct you if required.

Walkers on the beach may not hear cars approaching over

the sound of wind and waves. People, especially children,

can move unexpectedly. Drivers, please remember that

‘slower is safer’ and all Queensland road rules apply.

Venture safely

Make your visit memorable for all the right reasons.

Let dingoes live wildDingoes are protected by law on K’gari and are significant

to Butchulla people. You might see these wild predatory

animals any time of day or night. Follow these simple rules

to stay safe around dingoes.

Be dingo-safe!•NEVER feed dingoes.

•Always stay within arm’s reach of children,

even small teenagers.

•Walk in groups.

•Do not run or jog.

•Camp in fenced areas where possible.

•Lock up food stores and iceboxes (even on a boat).

•Never store food or food containers in tents.

•Secure all rubbish, fish and bait.

Report dingo interactions:•email: dingo.ranger@des.qld.gov.au

•ph: (07) 4127 9150

Stay safe!•Never dive or jump into Lake Wabby or other lakes and

creeks—they are often more shallow than they look and

have hidden obstacles. Spinal injuries have resulted from

these actions.

•Do not run, roll, board, slide or jump down the sand

dunes. Spinal injuries have resulted from these actions.

•Do not swim in the ocean; rips and sharks are common

and it’s not patrolled by surf lifeguards. Marine stingers

can be present and have extremely painful stings.

•Take care! Serious injuries occur at Champagne Pools.

•Where campfires are permitted, put your campfire out

with water, not sand. Children have suffered terrible

burns walking over fires covered with sand.

•Beach driving is best 2hrs either side of low tide.

•Avoid night driving—obstacles and wash-outs are very

difficult to see especially when sea mists blow onshore.

•Do not take trailers on inland roads in dry conditions.

Bogged vehicles can hold up traffic for hours. Be self-

sufficient with vehicle recovery gear. QPWS Rangers,

if nearby, can offer some assistance, but they cannot

pull you free.

•Tune into local radio stations for weather updates.

•Best walking conditions are in the cooler months from

May to September and in the cooler parts of the day,

especially over sandblows.

•For the longer walks, let someone know where you’re

going, when you plan to return and what to do if you

fail to return.

•In case of bushfires, stay away from thick bushland,

and stay low to the ground where the air is coolest.

Welcome to K’gari K’gari is the traditional land of the Butchulla people.

K’gari is my favourite place of all! As a Ranger I love

educating people about my country. What’s good for

our country comes first—even before family, because

with no country there is no place for the family.

K’gari to me is Mother Earth and is home.

Respect her and she will respect us.

Naa yin bunna See you later.

Ranger Conway, QPWS Ranger and Butchulla man

Why World Heritage? World Heritage areas protect the best examples of natural

and cultural heritage on Earth. K’gari’s outstanding natural

features include:

• long uninterrupted sweeps of ocean beach and strikingly

coloured sand cliffs

• continually evolving complex coastal dune formations

• unusual and diverse plants and animals.

Discover the islandRelax into island time and experience a getaway adventure

on a sand island paradise. This, the world’s largest sand

island, has something for almost everyone. Discover

exquisite views, treks over snow-white sandblows, and

forest drives. Enjoy springtime

wildflowers, lakes, beaches

and wildlife. With so much to

see and do you’ll want to come

back again and again.

sufficient with vehicle recovery gear. QPWS Rangers,

if nearby, can offer some assistance, but they cannot

pull you free.

• Tune into local radio stations for weather updates.

• Best walking conditions are in the cooler months from

May to September and in the cooler parts of the day,

especially over sandblows.

• For the longer walks, let someone know where you’re

going, when you plan to return and what to do if you

fail to return.

• In case of bushfires, stay away from thick bushland,

and stay low to the ground where the air is coolest.

Welcome to K’gari K’gari is the traditional land of the Butchulla people.

K’gari is my favourite place of all! As a Ranger I love

educating people about my country. What’s good for

our country comes first—even before family, because

with no country there is no place for the family.

K’gari to me is Mother Earth and is home.

Respect her and she will respect us.

Naa yin bunna See you later.

Ranger Conway, QPWS Ranger and Butchulla man

Why World Heritage? World Heritage areas protect the best examples of natural

and cultural heritage on Earth. K’gari’s outstanding natural

features include:

• long uninterrupted sweeps of ocean beach and strikingly

coloured sand cliffs

• continually evolving complex coastal dune formations

• unusual and diverse plants and animals.

Discover the islandRelax into island time and experience a getaway adventure

on a sand island paradise. This, the world’s largest sand

island, has something for almost everyone. Discover

exquisite views, treks over snow-white sandblows, and

forest drives. Enjoy springtime

wildflowers, lakes, beaches

and wildlife. With so much to

see and do you’ll want to come

back again and again.

Getting there and aroundYou’ll need a 4WD with high-clearance and low-range

capacity to drive on the island. Not keen to take the wheel?

Sit back and enjoy a guided tour by vehicle, boat or plane.

Choose from plenty of day and overnight tours all offering

glimpses of the island’s countless attractions.

Bookings essential for River Heads barges (ph: 1800 227

437) and plane flights (ph: 07 4125 3600) from Hervey Bay.

No bookings required for the Inskip barges (near Rainbow

Beach), which operate 6am to 5.30pm (busy periods

have extended hours and are published on their website).

Ph: 0418 872 599.

Be a World Heritage heroThanks for caring enough to prevent weeds and pests

damaging this beautiful island. Before you visit:

• wash your car tyres and walking shoe soles

• sweep or vacuum camping equipment and car interiors

• bring no pets, soil or plant materials to the island.

Bush walks galore!There’s a walking experience for everyone’s capabilities,

even a 90km, 6–8 day, Great Walk adventure with secluded

walkers’ camp sites along the way. Walk around freshwater

For help planning your holiday,

visit queensland.com or visitfrasercoast.com

Don’t forget to bring along a conditions report every time

you visit. Search for K’gari (Fraser Island) Conditions Report

on qld.gov.au/nationalparks or pick up a copy from a QPWS

information centre at Tewantin or Rainbow Beach.

Choose your camp site

With 45 camping areas across the island you are bound to find some to suit your style.

Beach campingUnfenced beach camping areas are located behind the

foredunes at specific sites along the eastern beach. Use the

access tracks. Don’t drive on the dunes—the vegetation is

quickly damaged but slow to recover. This is camping in the

rough, so bring everything you need, including a portable

toilet to make your stay more comfortable. Portable toilet

waste disposal facilities are marked on the map.

Get away from the crowds and camp on the western beach.

Boaties love these camp sites and so do mosquitoes and

midges. Camping here is best in the cooler, drier months

of August–October, but always bring insect repellent.

Small generators—sound-rated at 65 decibels or about

2.0Kva—are permitted (9am–9pm) where indicated on

the map.

Large groups and schoolsCamping with your friends is lots of fun. Four group

camping areas—Dundubara, Waddy Point (top),

Central Station and Cornwells—cater for 20–40 people.

Family-friendly campingChoose a camping area with a dingo deterrent fence.

Highly recommended if you have children 14 years and under.

Select from Central Station, Dunduburra, Waddy Point (top)

and Lake Boomanjin.

CampfiresEnjoy a campfire? Use communal fire rings at Dundubara and

Waddy Point camping areas, when no fire prohibitions are

in place. Only untreated milled timber (or mill off-cuts) can

be used. Supervise children around the fire and put it out

completely with water not sand, when you leave your camp

site or retire for the night.

Campfires are not permitted anywhere else on K’gari (Fraser

Island) Recreation Area. Collecting bush wood and kindling

is not allowed. Penalties apply for campfires and collecting.

Look up and look outThe eastern beach is Queensland’s sandiest national

highway. Some parts are also a landing strip for authorised

small planes. Give way to planes landing or taking off.

Aircraft landing zones are clearly marked with cones

and signs and ground crew will direct you if required.

Walkers on the beach may not hear cars approaching over

the sound of wind and waves. People, especially children,

can move unexpectedly. Drivers, please remember that

‘slower is safer’ and all Queensland road rules apply.

Venture safely

Make your visit memorable for all the right reasons.

Let dingoes live wildDingoes are protected by law on K’gari and are significant

to Butchulla people. You might see these wild predatory

animals any time of day or night. Follow these simple rules

to stay safe around dingoes.

Be dingo-safe!• NEVER feed dingoes.

• Always stay within arm’s reach of children,

even small teenagers.

• Walk in groups.

• Do not run or jog.

• Camp in fenced areas where possible.

• Lock up food stores and iceboxes (even on a boat).

• Never store food or food containers in tents.

• Secure all rubbish, fish and bait.

Report dingo interactions:• email: dingo.ranger@des.qld.gov.au

• ph: (07) 4127 9150

Stay safe!• Never dive or jump into Lake Wabby or other lakes and

creeks—they are often more shallow than they look and

have hidden obstacles. Spinal injuries have resulted from

these actions.

• Do not run, roll, board, slide or jump down the sand

dunes. Spinal injuries have resulted from these actions.

• Do not swim in the ocean; rips and sharks are common

and it’s not patrolled by surf lifeguards. Marine stingers

can be present and have extremely painful stings.

• Take care! Serious injuries occur at Champagne Pools.

• Where campfires are permitted, put your campfire out

with water, not sand. Children have suffered terrible

burns walking over fires covered with sand.

• Beach driving is best 2hrs either side of low tide.

• Avoid night driving—obstacles and wash-outs are very

difficult to see especially when sea mists blow onshore.

• Do not take trailers on inland roads in dry conditions.

Bogged vehicles can hold up traffic for hours. Be self-

sufficient with vehicle recovery gear. QPWS Rangers,

if nearby, can offer some assistance, but they cannot

pull you free.

• Tune into local radio stations for weather updates.

• Best walking conditions are in the cooler months from

May to September and in the cooler parts of the day,

especially over sandblows.

• For the longer walks, let someone know where you’re

going, when you plan to return and what to do if you

fail to return.

• In case of bushfires, stay away from thick bushland,

and stay low to the ground where the air is coolest.
