36 Eliza Avenue, Fraser Island, was Australia’s most lusted after listing this week

A Queensland island holiday house that earns up to $3200 a week was Australia’s top listing this week.

Scott’s House at Orchid Beach on K’Gari (Fraser Island) blitzed the competition, leaving its closest competitor, a renovated circa-1925 bungalow in South Australia, in the dust.

Fraser Island was officially renamed K’Gari, its traditional name, in 2023.

It is the world’s largest sand island, stretching over 184,000 hectares.

K’gari’s World Heritage listing ranks it with Australia’s Uluru, Kakadu and the Great Barrier Reef.

It is a popular camping spot and is located offshore from Hervey Bay, which is regarded as the whale watching capital of the world with over 1500 humpbacks migrating through the area from August to October.

K’gari’s 75 Mile Beach is also a famous fishing spot, and the island is home to coloured sand cliffs, over 100 freshwater lakes, ancient rainforests and shipwrecks.

It is also home to wongari (dingoes).
