22.01.2022 Such a lovely thing, for anyone living local and free this weekend.

21.01.2022 Due to the fires that have happened over the past couple of weeks. As owners we have made a decision to cancel all bookings for December. At this stage they are saying the Island opens as of the 15th with restrictions. We want guests to have a memorable holiday for the right reason and enjoy as much of this beautiful place without restrictions, and be safe.

21.01.2022 Drive to Lake Birrabeen through the rainy mist.

19.01.2022 Nice little piece of artwork to remind people not to litter our beautiful Island with your plastic rubbish or any. Take it with you and recycle when you can.

15.01.2022 **This warning is no longer current. Please check the QFES Facebook page for updated information.** LEAVE IMMEDIATELY: Happy Valley (part of K’gari, Fraser Isla...nd bushfire) as at 2.45pm on Sun 6 Dec Bushfire warning level: EMERGENCY WARNING Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) advises there is a bushfire approaching Happy Valley. Leaving immediately is the safest option, as it will soon be too dangerous to drive. Any persons in the vicinity of Happy Valley township should leave the area heading to the Eastern Beach and head south to Eurong Resort. Follow your bushfire survival plan now. If you do not have a plan, your safest option is to leave immediately if it is clear to do so. If you cannot leave, identify where you will seek shelter from the bushfire. If you are not in the area, do not return, as conditions are too dangerous. Currently as at 2.45pm on Sunday 6 December, a large fire is travelling in a south easterly direction towards Happy Valley township on Fraser Island. It is expected to impact Happy Valley township around 4pm. The fire is expected to have a significant IMPACT on the community. Conditions are now very dangerous and firefighters may soon be unable to prevent the fire advancing. The fire may pose a threat to all lives directly in its path. Fire crews may not be able to protect your property. You should not expect a firefighter at your door: act now. Power, water, and mobile phone service may be lost and road conditions may become very dangerous over the next several hours. People in the area will be affected by smoke, which will reduce visibility and air quality. Call Triple Zero (000) immediately if you believe you are under threat. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: Listen to your local radio station or visit the Rural Fire Service (RFS) website for regular updates. Put on protective clothing (e.g., a long-sleeved cotton shirt, boots with thick soles). Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you suffer from a respiratory condition, keep your medication close by. If you are leaving: Secure your pets for safe transport. Check for road closures and then advise family and friends of your intended travel route. Take your important documents and essential items (e.g., passports, birth certificates, prescription medication, food and water, and protective clothing) when you leave. Drive with caution in low visibility conditions. If you are unable to leave: Bring pets inside; restrain them with a leash, a cage, or inside a secure room; and provide them with plenty of water. Fill containers such as your bath, sinks, and buckets with water so you have access to drinking water and firefighting water. Close windows and doors, sealing the gaps under doors and screens with wet towels to keep smoke out of the house. Identify a safe spot to shelter in, which would be a place with more than one exit, preferably inside a brick building, away from windows and doors. The safest spot is the place that will keep you furthest away from the intense heat from the fire. As the fire approaches and passes, the safest spot will change, so be ready to move.

13.01.2022 We continue to work closely with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) to fight a bushfire currently burning on Fraser Island.

12.01.2022 Kingfisher to Lake McKenzie trail walk, well worth the burn to sit and swim in the crystal blue water at the end. #kgari #fraserislandwalk #visitfraserisland #castawaysonfraser
