Aborigines and the legends of ‘K’gari - the beautiful spirit
Princess K’gair or perhaps the shattered Rainbow - Coloured Sands
Dreamtime story. |
|

|
|
...to the beginnings beyond the ice ages -
originating on the tablelands of Northern New South Wales millions of
years ago. Nature and her mysterious ways - let
your guide unlock a few
of the secrets.

Eco-Tourism
Fraser Island is in danger of being “loved to death”.
As an eco-tourism operator we play an important role in fostering an
awareness in the need to preserve its natural beauty
and fragile eco-systems. Regular stops are at picturesque beauty spots.
Our commitment of “no compromise for quality” produces a memorable
and enjoyable wilderness experience to one of nature’s most beautiful
and intriguing treasures. Remember this is a 4WD safari
and may not be suitable if pregnant or if you have a bad back.
Dress comfortably - it’s not a fashion parade!
