Some of you may remember I asked for advice about Fraser. Thanks to those of you who replied. Well, we got there and really enjoyed it. Yes, much busier than 25 years ago. I couldn't believe the number of tourist buses running around the place - they seemed to be on tight time schedules (ie driving right up behind us on tracks) and seemed to think they had more rights over the rest of us (ie about 3 cars stopped to watch some dingoes until the bus drove through the middle of us and blocked everyone's view. Grrr.)
We didn't get to do all the things we planned so now planning a return visit. One of us got sick which prevented us doing the walks we planned.
Some tips:
Central Station was a great camp spot but really cold in July, although it was t-shirt weather on the beach.
Take the advice of national parks regarding dingoes. NP produce a really good booklet about what to do around the dingoes.
Too many people doing dumb things, mostly not supervising young kids.
If you have children under 16, camp in the fenced areas.
Pack your binoculars. We saw heaps of whales in July.
Avoid Lake Mackenzie after 10am when it gets busy.
