K'gari (Fraser Island) Clean Up 2026 - TRIP FULL

Four Wheel Drive Queensland volunteers have been cleaning up K’gari (Fraser Island) since 2001. 

The event is held annually over a weekend with Four Wheel Drive Queensland affiliated club members and event sponsors volunteering their time to clean marine debris from this beautiful World Heritage listed island.

Four Wheel Drive Queensland in collaboration with their partners in this venture, Queensland Department of Environment and Science, Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service and the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation. Four Wheel Drive Queensland K’gari Clean Up does not receive government funding and therefore they solely rely on the generous support of their fabulous sponsors to ensure the event continues into the future.

The Mitsi Club has had a long and proud history of helping with the cleanup and we look forward to a large turn-out for 2026.
