Description

Valley of the Giant walkers' camp is on K'gari (Fraser Island), 15km off the coast of Hervey Bay and about 300km north of Brisbane. The walkers' camp is on the Fraser Island Great Walk, 16.2km north of Lake Wabby walkers' camp, 13.1km south of Lake Garawongera walkers' camp and 7.8km from a minor Fraser Island Great Walk access track at the southern section of the Winnam camping area in Beach camping zone 3. Camping permits are required and fees apply. Book your campsite online. You can stay at each QPWS walkers' camp for a maximum of two nights in a row. Dump your pack, unlace your boots and set up camp in this lush rainforest in the central dunes. After a day on the Fraser Island Great Walk, youll enjoy the chance to relax and connect with nature in this picturesque spot. If you can, plan an extra night here so you can explore the hidden 1000-year-old treasures of this rainforest. A 12.4km return side trail takes you deep into the heart of this amazing forest where you'll see massive tallowwood and satinay trees. After a peaceful night (or two!), hoist your pack and head off on the rest of your Fraser Island Great Walk adventure. The Fraser Island Great Walk is generally open from 1 March to 31 October each year.
