I went on a guided walk and the two women guides on the walk were amazing. The walk itself was also a lovely way to see K’gari and Carnarvon Gorge. Accommodation was great as was the food but certainly the knowledge and passion shown by the guides really made the trip special. Really happy with our walk with Auswalk. Thanks Special thanks to Georgie and Michelle for being so caring and sharing.

Tips, tricks, and trail insights - everything you need to know about multi-day walks in Australia.
Overview
K'gari, whose name means paradise in the language of its Traditional Owners, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site unlike anything else in Australia. The largest sand island in the world, it supports ancient rainforests growing improbably from sand, over forty crystal-clear freshwater lakes and a coastline of pristine beaches that stretches for kilometres in every direction.
Based at Kingfisher Bay on the island's western shore, the walking here reveals a landscape of remarkable diversity. Trails lead through towering rainforest to the jewel-like Lake McKenzie, where white silica sand meets water of extraordinary clarity. Rare king ferns with fronds reaching five metres give the forest a genuinely prehistoric quality, while the crystal-clear waters of Wanggoolba Creek flow through Pile Valley beneath a canopy of ancient trees.

The Fraser Island (K'gari) experience
Fraser Island (K'gari) reviews
2 very different places K Gari and Carnaval Gorge … Each with their own highlights.. An island vs a gorge hundreds of kms away … You also got a taste of inland Qld. Showing us a beautiful part of Australia that not all of us could get too on our own .. plus the fabulous guides .. The hugely knowledgeable and lovely Michelle … And the ever dependable (& safe driving ) Georgie.
Michelle and Gorgie were both excellent guides and seemed to work well together. They shared a lot of interesting information about each location and obviously had a lot of experience and knowledge about wildlife, plants etc as well as local history.
The standard of accommodation and food is good and consistent. The time at Carnarvon Gorge was particularly enjoyable - the walks were variable and beautiful. Michelle’s in depth local knowledge contributed enormously to the overall experience. Both the Auswalk guides were terrific - very helpful and knowledgeable. They worked well together and contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the trip. The local guide on K’Gari was ok, but not as good as the Auswalk guides.
Both Guides were excellent as they were fair, professional and approachable. Michelle had a great knowledge of the Carnarvon Gorge and surrounding district and again Georgie provided reassurance when behind the wheel. This was my fifth walk with Auswalk and I have enjoyed each one. This is mainly because of the excellent guides and variety of locations. I enjoyed the Carnarvon Gorge due to the remoteness and I particularly liked the walk on the second day with Georgie.
The guides on this walk, Michelle and Georgie were excellent. They were organised, prepared and thoughtful. The locations were great, options offered, good accommodation and meals. Carnarvon Gorge was the highlight. The drive across from K’gari was long but it didn’t seem it. There were sufficient stops and I felt confident with their driving. Carnarvon Gorge was the highlight. The walks were varied and options offered. Michelle’s knowledge of and passion for the area certainly made the trek. Everything was outstanding there.
