INVESTIGATIONS continue into an illegal fire that continues to burn on Fraser Island.
The fire has burned through about 3000 hectares on the island.

A spokesman from the department said no charges had been laid in relation to the fire.

The extent of the damage caused by the fire was revealed when Gayle Kee shared a series of photos after flying over the island in her light plane.
The photos showed how close the fire came to the township of Orchid Beach.
