Sandy Cape

Sandy Cape (also known by the Indigenous name of Woakoh) is the most northern point on Fraser Island (also known as K'gari and Gari) off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

[1][2] The place was named Sandy Cape for its appearance by James Cook during his 1770 voyage up the eastern coast of Australia aboard the Endeavour.

In late December 1842, HMS Fly anchored behind Sandy Cape where some crewmen and naturalists went ashore and commented on the poor sparse surroundings.

The Seabelle was wrecked in 1857, the American Bark "Panama"[9] in 1864, and the Chang Chow in 1884 in waters closer to the cape which may contain hidden sandbars.

[15] Clement Lindley Wragge set up an extensive network of weather stations around Queensland, including one at Sandy Cape in 1891.
