}}Great Sandy National Park is a coastal national park in the Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1]

Geography

The park features untouched beaches, large sand dunes, heathlands, rainforests, swamps, creeks, freshwater lakes and mangrove forests.

Great Sandy National Park is divided into two sections. The Cooloola Recreation Area section is situated on the coast between Noosa Heads in the south and Rainbow Beach in the north and covers {{convert|184,00|ha}}. The K'gari (Fraser Island) section encompasses almost all of the world's largest sand island, Fraser Island, situated north of Rainbow Beach, covering {{convert|56,000|ha}}.

Environment

Birds

The land within the park is classified by BirdLife International as the Cooloola and Fraser Coast Important Bird Area because it supports a large population of black-breasted button-quails as well as many bush and beach stone-curlews, green catbirds, regent bowerbirds, mangrove honeyeaters and pale-yellow robins.[2] Cooloola is also home to the eastern ground parrot and has one of the last coastal populations of the emu.[3]

The Cooloola section contains the Cooloola Great Walk, a five-day hiking trail. Boat tours and canoeing along the Noosa River are popular visitor activities. On Fraser Island is the 90 km long Fraser Island Great Walk.[4]

Lake Cootharaba offers fishing, sailing and canoeing opportunities.

Whale watching, fishing, four-wheel driving and bushwalking are also popular. The park also features two shipwrecks; the SS Maheno and the Cherry Venture.[5]

The only place in the world where tall rainforest grows in sand is on Fraser Island.[5] Fraser Island has coloured sand cliffs on its eastern beach as well as numerous walking tracks from short boardwalks to longer walks which cross sand blows.

Fraser Island has more than 100 freshwater lakes including the largest perched lake in the world, Lake Boomanjin.[5] Lake Wabby is a popular swimming and fishing spot.[6]

Access

Access to Fraser Island requires a four-wheel drive vehicle. Parts of the Cooloola section are also inaccessible without a four-wheel drive. Vehicles entering the park need to obtain a vehicle permit for both Fraser Island and the Cooloola Recreational Area. Both sections have numerous camping areas.

Camping

Permits are required to camp in the park. In the Cooloola section there are about 15 camp sites.[5] Only electric motors and non-motorised vessels are permitted past Campsite 3.[7]

Fines

There are fines for feeding Fraser Island's dingo population or leaving food or rubbish which may attract them.[8]
