The K'gari (Fraser Island) Great Walk is a long-distance walking track on K'gari, Queensland, Australia. Hikers should be fully self-sufficient and to carry sufficient water. The walk is rated easy to moderate on a difficulty scale being mostly at sea level[1] and is traversed in one direction.It leads from Dilli Village, an environmental education camp of the University of the Sunshine Coast, to Happy Valley.[2] The entire 90 km walk, which includes numerous smaller walks branching off the main trail, can be completed in 6 to 8 days.[3] The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) provides 8 walkers' camps for which a booking is essential.[4]
The landscape during the walk changes between coastal heathland, mangrove forest, woodland and subtropical rainforest. The crystal-clear lakes and sand dunes are the highlights of this track. Due to the rain season, it is better not to do this hike from January to March.
A 40adj=onNaNadj=on extension to the walk from Lake Garawongera to Arch Cliffs, was developed by volunteers in 2010 and increased the length of the main trail to 90km (60miles).[3]
