While the summer maximum average temperature is only 30 degrees C, the summer months have some extremely hot days.

Hats, cool clothing that protects from the sun, sunscreen and common sense are essentials to enjoying Fraser Island summers. Average temperatures of around 15 degrees C are usual in winter, which is mild, usually dry, and very pleasant.
Most winter days are sunny and there is never any frost.
