“Smoke will affect visibility and air quality on K’gari (Fraser Island) and adjacent mainland areas over the coming days.”
Firefighting crews are bracing themselves as the heatwave in south-east Queensland was set to worsen on Sunday.
Access to the island was restricted to local residents, essential service providers and emergency services.
“Residents, campers and visitors already on the island should limit their movements to within close proximity of where they are staying and avoid travelling on the inland tracks and roads,” the alert said.
