PANEL 2 CONTENT: Paradise
for more than 60,000 years, the Butchulla People followed three lores to
live in harmony with K'gari's animals and plants, with its abundant fresh
water lakes providing a source of life for all.
Life changed forever with the arrival of Europeans in the 1850's. For about
130 years K'gari was logged for timber and for 25 years it's sand was mined
for minerals. In the 1970's, conservationists led campaigns to secure
protection and global recognition for the island; first ending sand-mining
and eventually stopping logging in 1991.

PANEL 3 HEADING: Making the list
PANEL 3 CONTENT
In 1992, K'gari gained a place on one of the world's most sought-after
lists- UNESCO's World Heritage Register.
Joining locations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu, Galapagos Islands
and the Amazon, it was officially recognised as one of earth's most
outstanding natural wonders.
To gain World Heritage status, an area must meet at least one of ten
selection criteria. Fraser Island fulfilled three:
1. Exceptional natural beauty
2. Outstanding example of the earth's history, including on-going
geological processes
3. Outstanding evolutionary processes of ecology and biology
