A man has died after being struck by lightning near Fraser Island, north of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Authorities say he was struck while standing on the beach at Inskip Point just after 6:00pm AEDT.

An 11-year-old who was with the man was taken to Gympie Hospital with minor injuries.

It can get nasty when storms hit here. Get the fark inside.......
