In 1860 Fraser Island was designated an Aboriginal reserve (archaeological evidence indicates that Aborigines inhabited the island for at least 5,000 years), a distinction revoked in 1906, after Aborigines were removed from the island. Part of Fraser Island has been a forest reserve since 1908, about one-fourth of the island was declared a national park in 1971, and in 1976 Great Sandy National Park was established and extended to occupy roughly the northern third of the island. In 1992 the entire island was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The island yields kauri and hoop pine, blackbutt, and satinay timber. Sand mining was carried out on the island until 1977, when the Commonwealth government banned exports of the mineral sands.
The island was sighted in 1770 by British explorer Captain James Cook, who believed it to be a promontory; the first landing was made by navigator Matthew Flinders in 1802. It was named for Captain James Fraser, who, with several of his party, was killed there by Aborigines in 1836 (some accounts say it was named for Fraser’s wife, Eliza, who survived and was rescued). Area about 620 square miles (1,600 square km).
