Fraser Island 2012

Just back from our couple of weeks on Fraser.
Everything I expected & more.

Inland track to Central Stn was in really bad shape. No decent rain for 2 mths & relentless tour buses.

Stayed 2 nights & pretty much had the place to ourselves.

The trip back to Eurong was nowhere near as bad as getting to Central.

Sausage Rolls and a cold drink at the bakery

We just got back too. Up the driveway late last night from a week on the island.

Weather was great wasn't it!

Hate that trip from fraser to Sydney in one day though.

We then headed north to Waddy Point.
Nice beach drive then tackle Indian Head.
Was very soft sand with deep wheel tracks halfway up and a real nasty drop off.
Managed to make it with a big run up & lots of right foot.

Nice big camp sites at Waddy Point

Plenty of action on the beach.

Nice Jamie, u did it easy, that is a far size van/ camper to tow through there especially as the sand would be fine and soft.

Davros, the weather was awesome.
Didn't manage any tailor tho.
Heaps of whiting & dart.

Yeah Hutch, the Goldstreams are heaps heavy.
Lots of run up & momentum got me through the bad spots.

Sandy Cape definitely a highlight.
Awesome blue lagoon.

Few guys pulling nice whiting out of here.

Thanks for posting and the info on the tracks. We are there this weekend coming for 3 nights and cannot wait. Glamping this time but and leaving the camper at home and staying in a villa at Kingfisher. Really looking forward to it.

Looks like you had a great trip with the family, I went over there back in 1990 and hired a little Suzuki 4wd to scoot around, but we were not allowed past Indian Head so missed out seeing Sandy Cape. I will be going over next year maybe and see how much the island has changed, and finally camp at Sandy Cape.
Saw the 4WD Action DVD on their recent trip over there so it is on my must do list.

We had a great stay at Kingfisher in the Banksia Villas, really nice (a little dated but for the price and size it was great, plus your not there for the villa, its all about the island). Our driving was all of 5kms... Some backpacker git decided to get drunk, go for a drive at 9pm on Saturday night, got stuck 5kms out of kingfisher and dumped his car in the middle of the track and left it... Not happy. 50 something cars in both directions stuck and many annoyed people who missed the barge.

Kingfisher acutally came along, smashed a window and pushed it off the track. Still we hung around the resort and had some good family time. Been there heaps before and will go again by the end of the year.

Enjoy your trip.

Cheers Dan
