Bushfire evacuation warning for Fraser Island
Campers have been ordered to evacuate a heritage-listed Queensland island as multiple blazes rage with two fire warnings issued.
For more than six weeks Fraser Island has been troubled by fires and the latest blaze has resulted in a “Leave Now” order issued to campers at Cathedrals on Fraser.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services say there’s the bushfire “conditions are getting worse” near Cathedrals at Fraser Island.
The dingo-fenced camping ground has self-catering cabins, permanent canvas tents, powered and unpowered campsites and is sheltered behind the dunes 6 km north of the famous Maheno Shipwreck.
The fire is travelling from north of Lake Bowarrady, in the vicinity of Awinya Road, south towards Cathedrals on Fraser.
