Fraser Island
K'GARI aka FRASER ISAND
The exceptionally soft sand has been accumulating for approximately 750,000 years on volcanic bedrock, which provides a natural catchment for the sediment carried by a strong offshore current along the coast. Unlike most sand dunes, plant life is abundant due to the naturally occurring fungi that is present, which releases nutrients in a form that can be absorbed. In turn, Fraser Island has been able to become a home for a small number of mammals, as well as a diverse range of tropical birds, reptiles and amphibians, including the occasional saltwater crocodile!
Fraser Island has been inhabited by humans for over 5000 years, first to the Butchella people, who Captain James Cook discovered in 1770. The first person to ever have interaction with the islands natives was Matthew Flinders, who set foot on the most northern point of Fraser in 1802. The islands native name give by the Butchella was ‘K’gari,’ but it was the tale of a shipwreck survivor named Eliza Fraser that gave the island the name that we all know today. These days the island is a very popular tourist destination, but the number of permanent residents is only a few hundred! This makes the island even more intriguing, as the beaches and trails are unspoiled and you can truly experience what it might have been like for the first explorers who seen such unspoiled beauty!
