The K’gari Great Walk (Fraser Island) - South East Queensland

K'Gari, the world’s largest sand island, is a spectacular World Heritage area with pristine lakes, rare rainforests growing in sand and exuberant wildlife including reptiles, dugongs, sea turtles, almost half of Australia’s bird species and our country’s purest wild dingoes. The K’Gari Great Walk is an 8 day, 90 km, full pack camping adventure that goes from Dilli Village to Happy Valley and is the best way to experience this amazing place! This is a medium to hard grade walk where participants will have to carry all of their own food and camping supplies for the 8 days of the trek. Expect the weather to be generally warm to hot and humid with the possibility of intense storms and rain.
Accommodation has been booked for the first night of the trip (3 May) at the BIG4 Van Park in Rainbow Beach. Participants can return there or to alternative accommodation in Rainbow Beach after the trip.
A 4WD bus has been chartered to transport our group of 12 from Rainbow Beach to Dilli Village on the morning of Tuesday 4 May, from where we will start of the walk and then we’ll get picked up from Happy Valley on Tuesday, 11 May at the end. All campsites for 12 persons for the 8 days have also been booked.
Total cost of National Park & camping fees for the 8 days and 4WD transport to and from the walk is $329.25 per person. There may be an additional fee of around $100 if we can arrange a food drop. Cost of accommodation at Rainbow Beach on arrival and departure is also additional.
You must have solid multi-day camping experience to be considered for this walk.
