Grew up in Sunshine Beach, Noosaville, Tewantin & outside of Hervey Bay about 5km from River Heads barge. Double Island Point & K'gari was where I was taught how to camp, forage edible native plants, fish & learn about the environment. A lesson in how to look after myself if I had to😊

The SS Maheno on K’gari is one of those places that never quite feels real. A shipwreck stranded on a beach that refuses to let go of its stories.

Hahaha! Nah, K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) 🇦🇺 took photos from the car and later they herded fishermen into the sea to drown them! They’re terrifying! We were given dingo sticks for protection with the hire car!

Agree, it's part of this country's history and we should be embracing it.
But no, they lost their shit over K'gari using it's original name (instead of being named after the British idiot that ran into it in his boat).
Hell there are still people traumatised about Uluru (and the climbing ban).
