Originally established as a forestry camp when there was logging on World Heritage-listed K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), Central Station's beautiful rainforest area houses a display explaining the development of the island and its various flora and fauna.
The camping area is fenced for Dingo safety and set in the rainforest. There is an area for tents and trailers and a separate area for walkers to camp at the western end of the camping main camping area.
Facilities include coin-operated hot showers, flushing toilets, wheelchair access and washing-up facilities. The nearby day-use area has a public phone and access to short walks. Rubbish bins are provided at the camping area entrance.
There is also a wealth of information on display along with picnic areas. Central Station has a short boardwalk around Wanggoolba Creek and through the beautiful K’gari rainforest. This is also the starting point for some other walks such as the Basin Lake Walk.
