WORLD HERITAGE

K'gari/Fraser Island

Inscribed 1992

"Stretching over 120 kilometres along the southern coast of Queensland, K'gari (184 000 hectares) is the largest sand island in the world. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding natural universal values:

as an outstanding example representing significant ongoing ecological and biological processes; and as an example of superlative natural phenomena.

The island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, its majestic tall rainforests and numerous freshwater lakes of crystal clear waters.

The massive sand deposits that make up the island are a continuous record of climatic and sea level changes over the past 700 000 years.

K'gari features complex dune systems that are still evolving, and an array of dune lakes that is exceptional in its number, diversity and age.

The highest dunes on the island reach up to 240 metres above sea level. Forty perched dune lakes, half the number of such lakes in the world, can be found on the island. These lakes are formed when organic matter, such as leaves, bark and dead plants, gradually build up and harden in depressions created by the wind.

The island also has several barrage lakes, formed when moving sand dunes block a watercourse, and 'window' lakes, formed when a depression exposes part of the regional water table.

A surprising variety of vegetation types grow on the island, ranging from coastal heath to subtropical rainforests. It is the only place in the world where tall rainforests are found growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 metres.

The low 'wallum' heaths on the island are of particular evolutionary and ecological significance, providing magnificent wildflower displays in spring and summer.

Birds are the most abundant form of animal life on the island with over 350 species being recorded. It is a particularly important site for migratory wading birds which use the area as a resting place during their long flights between southern Australia and their breeding grounds in Siberia.

A species of particular interest is the endangered ground parrot, which is found in the wallum heathlands.

Few mammal species are present on the island. The most common are bats, particularly flying foxes. The dingo population on the island is regarded as the most pure strain of dingoes remaining in eastern Australia.

The lakes on K'gari are poor habitats for fish and other aquatic species because of the purity, acidity and low nutrient levels of the water. Some frog species are adapted to survive in this difficult environment. Appropriately called 'acid frogs', they tolerate the acidic condition characteristic of the K'gari lakes and swamps

Called K'gari by its Aboriginal inhabitants, the island reveals Aboriginal
occupation of at least 5 000 years, although it is possible that further
archaeological work may indicate earlier occupation. Early European
reports suggested that Fraser Island was heavily populated by Aboriginal people, but subsequent research indicates that there was a small permanent population of 400-600 that swelled seasonally to perhaps in the winter months when seafood resources were particularly abundant. K'gari contains many sites of archaeological, social and spiritual significance. Middens, artefact scatters, fish traps, scarred trees and campsites bear witness to the lives of the original inhabitants. European contact, initiated by Matthew Flinders in 1802, was sporadic and limited to explorers, escaped convicts and shipwreck survivors."

Great holiiday
Our stay at sandjunes was great. It’s a great beach shack with beautiful water views from the versnda and lovely sea breezes. It was good to be disconnected from tbe outside world and get back to family time. Sandjunes has your basic amenities which is all you need it was good to be off the grid and anything extra we needed eg fan. It was battery operated and a shop/restaurant around tbe corner for good food. Bree the owner who is on site is just lovely to have a chat with and very easy to get along. I would highly rate this place if you want a holiday that us a bit more environmentally friendly

Great K’gari accommodation
This is the second year on a row the five of us have stayed at Sandjunes on our annual K’gari tailor fishing trip. Bree is great to work with and the location near the beach and the shop is ideal. The house is well set up, the kitchen is functional, the beds are ok and the double bed in its own room is ideal for the tallest member of a group or the champion snorer. We’ve already decided on Sandjunes for our 2024 trip.

Sandjunes on K'gari
Our family had a delightful stay in Sandjunes, a beautiful high set home with a dreamy view of the beach and waves. Despite the somewhat inclement weather, there was plenty to do & see and a cosy cabin to which to return. We enjoyed soaking up the outdoor atmosphere from the wrap around verandah, a delight of 🐦 bird activities and some whale watching🐋. The house was clean and functional. Bree was on hand to share local knowledge.

Fantastic, loved it
Bree was really nice to me and my family. We stayed there just before Xmas and my partner was 7 months pregnant. I was concerned the house would be too hot after reading the add about no fans or aircon, so I bought a battery fan with me. I didn’t even need the fan because of the cool breeze that constantly ran through the high elevated house. The house represented it self as the information provided on the ad and the view knocks your socks off when you first see it. A view of coconut trees Beach and the ocean all on offer. It’s almost impossible not to open a beer and sit there to enjoy it. Thanks Bree for the wonderful holiday and we will see you again another time!
