Fraser Island's abundant pristine freshwater lakes, crystal clear creeks and sweeping beaches all help to form this unique natural environment that has developed over 800,000 years. The indigenous Badjala name for Fraser Island, K'Gari, means paradise and you have the opportunity to explore this natural heaven on this five-star guided tour.
