    • Tourist Information

    Tourist Information

    		   Kingfisher Bay Resort is a fully integrated resort on the west coast of Fraser Island 40 minutes by catamaran from Urangan harbour at Hervey Bay following a one hour flight from Brisbane.

    World Heritage listed Fraser Island lies at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland. It is the world's largest sand island and a unique ecological environment with rich Aboriginal heritage and colourful European history. Fraser has extensive 120 km continuous ocean beach, magnificent coloured sand cliffs, rocky headlands, scenic creeks, abundant wildlife, numerous freshwater lakes and a diversity of plant communities, ranging from low heathlands to tall rainforests.

    Scattered across Fraser Island are many scenic lakes, each with a unique character. Some are crystal clear (window lakes) while others are tea-coloured (perched lakes).

    Window lakes are formed where the ground surface drops below the water table level. Lakes formed in this manner include McKenzie, Birrabeen, Yankee Jack and Wabby. Perched lakes are created when a saucer-shaped 'hard-pan' - composed of bonded mud, sandrock and peat - forms in a depression between sand dunes. Water collects in these depression and a lake is formed, perched well above the true water table. Lake Boomanjin, site for the film 'Eliza Fraser', is the world's largest perched lake table (200 ha) and Lake Bowarrady is one of the highest (120 m above the sea level).

    Fraser Island was known as Thoorgine to the Butchulla people who lived in clans along the east coast. Archeological remains document their culture and tradition. Clusters of shell remains have accumulated in distinct shell mounds, testimony to the resources and technology of the times.  These sites are of historical and cultural value.
