Fraser Island Guide

Fraser Island, Batjala K'Gari, is the largest sand island in the world at 1630 km². It was inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1992. In terms of local government, it is administered by both the Maryborough and Hervey Bay City Councils.

Fraser Island is located off the east coast of Australia 250 km north of Brisbane, Queensland. The island is separated from the mainland by the Great Sandy Strait. With Cooloola, the island forms the Great Sandy Region, stretching 175 km north to south, varying in width up to 25 km, with the highest elevation of 260 m. The Fraser Island area is protected in the name of Great Sandy National Park.

The name Fraser Island comes from Eliza Fraser and her story of survival from a shipwreck on the island. Captain James Fraser and his wife, Eliza Fraser, were shipwrecked on the island 1836. The name of the ship was the Stirling Castle. Captain Fraser died but Eliza was rescued off the island. Eliza later made money traveling around England and Australia telling her story of the events that had occurred while the Stirling Castle’s officers were on the island. She is known to have told several versions of the story; it is unknown which version is the most accurate.
