Premium Content Subscriber only THE countdown is on to Christmas and rangers are hard at work on Fraser Island, clearing debris left by the recent wildfires so holiday visitors can access more of K’gari. The remaining fire zone on Fraser is contained and is being monitored by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. Control was handed back to QPWS on Sunday by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services which had been put in charge when the fire threatened the township of Happy Valley and a number of properties, including Cathedrals on Fraser and Kingfisher Bay Resort. The wildfire burned out of control for seven weeks, and closed the island to visitors for a period of time.
