he K’gari bushfires started on 14 October last year near Orange Creek in the island’s north-east. They burnt west into inaccessible swamp, lake and dune country, before spreading north and south as winds shifted. In shipwreck, Indian Head, Champagne Pools and Lake Wabby on the eastern coastline were also unaffected. Fire activity was deemed contained by 16 December, but Sandy Cape continued to relight and burn until after Christmas, according to the Institute of Foresters of Australia. No camping grounds or areas remain closed as a result of last year’s fires.
