About K’Gari
K’Gari (formally known as Fraser Island) is on the lands of the Butchulla People. K’Gari translates as paradise in the Butchulla language and is home to their sacred animals, such as the Animal King – the dingo, or Wongari. The Butchulla People are the traditional owners and custodians of K’Gari.
As a UNESCO world heritage site, K’Gari has lots to offer. It is the largest sand island in the world, meaning it has a unique ecosystem not seen anywhere else on earth. Its coastal waters welcome the annual migration of whales along the east coast of Australia, who congregate in the waters off K’Gari each spring.
