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. 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. To the south the next two ocean headlands are Waddy Point and Indian Head (the latter was also named by Cook noting "...on which a number of Natives were assembled..." and is also known as Tukkee in the Badtjala language, meaning stone or stone knife).

  • Le cap Sandy (Sandy Cape) – littéralement le cap sablonneux – est le point le plus au nord de l'île Fraser au large des côtes du Queensland, en Australie. Le lieu a été nommé par le capitaine James Cook lors de son voyage en 1770 le long de la côte orientale de l'Australie à bord de l’Endeavour. Au sud, les deux caps suivants sont Waddy Point et Indian Head qui doivent également leur nom à Cook. La région est protégée par le Parc national Great Sandy. Un gigantesque banc de sable BreakSea Spit s'étend sur environ 30 km au nord du cap. Les tortues caouannes et vertes utilisent les plages pour venir y pondre leurs œufs. Il est interdit de circuler de nuit le long de la plage pendant la saison de ponte. La végétation du cap est rabougrie et balayée par le vent. Les premières dunes sont légèrement recouvertes de spinifex. L'accès des véhicules est possible uniquement par la plage Est à marée basse. Le camping est permis dans la région qui est un endroit prisé des pêcheurs. (fr)

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. To the south the next two ocean headlands are Waddy Point and Indian Head (the latter was also named by Cook noting "...on which a number of Natives were assembled..." and is also known as Tukkee in the Badtjala language, meaning stone or stone knife). The cape is protected within the K'gari section of the Great Sandy National Park. BreakSea Spit extends about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Sandy Cape. Nesting loggerhead and green turtles use the remote, sandy location as a rookery. Nighttime driving along the beach at Sandy Cape is banned during the nesting season. The vegetation at the cape is stunted and windswept. The foredunes are lightly covered by spinifex grass. Vehicle access to Sandy Cape is only available by the eastern beach at low tide. Camping is permitted in the area and it is a popular location with anglers. (en)
