About K’gari
K’gari’s breathtaking beauty and unique ecology makes it one of the most sought-after destinations in Australia. Pristine beaches and sparkling freshwater lakes, cool and peaceful rainforests with huge trees, swampy wetlands full of wild flowers and vast everchanging sand dunes all can all be found within one or two hours’ drive of Orchid Beach. There are over 325 species of birds on K’gari including Australia’s stork, the Jabiru. There are wallabies, possums, flying foxes, echidnas, as well as eastern Australia’s purest population of dingo. A unique species of tortoise can be found in many of the freshwater lakes, and the warm waters surrounding the island attract dugong, dolphins and turtles. The magnificent humpback whales visit between August and November can be seen from the veranda of Kgari breaching off Waddy Point. In this same period Orchid Beach offers some of the best tailor fishing in Australia.
