Fraser Island is K’gari is the traditional land of the Butchulla people.
In the Butchulla people's language, Fraser Island is known as “K'gari” (pronounced “gurri”) meaning “paradise”.
Butchulla translates as “the sea people”. Archaeological evidence suggests Aboriginal settlements existed on Fraser Island at least 5000 years ago. The Butchulla people are the Traditional Owners of K'gari (Fraser Island) and for perhaps as many as 50,000 years, the Butchulla people lived in harmony with the seasons and the land and sea, maintaining a balance between spiritual, social and family connections. Today the Butchulla people continue to walk the cultural pathway of their ancestors, whom they believe have lived on this country since the beginning of the Dreaming.
