Show Notes

Fraser Island has had many names. To its native Badtjala people, it is known as K’gari. When European settlers first happened upon the island, they named it Great Sandy Island. Then, after a particularly dramatic incident involving a shipwreck, a damsel in distress, and a timely rescue, the island was rechristened Fraser Island, in memory of Eliza Fraser and her adventures there. Join us as we learn more about this remarkable island in our program, The Secrets of Fraser Island.
