Information

Grade 3, 900m return walk. Allow 1 hour.Stretch your legs on this short walk to an amazing view of this dynamic landscape. Walk to the lookout for views of the slow-motion battle between the Hammerstone Sandblow and Lake Wabby.From the car park you’ll follow a ridge line to a platform 105m above sea level. Take in the views to the crescent-shaped, tannin-stained Lake Wabby, Hammerstone Sandblow and the ocean beyond.This 11m-deep barrage lake has formed over time as the migrating sands of exposed dunes gradually blocked a coastal creek. Today the Sandblow is threatening the lake's survival. Slowly but surely sand is blowing down the east-facing dune and filling the lake.If you have time, take the Lake Wabby walk down to the lake shore.This park is part of the K'gari (Fraser Island) World Heritage Area, famed for its exceptional natural beauty, outstanding examples of coastal dune landform development and evolutionary history.
