Fraser Island Barge

the "other bloke" is now Kingfisher, but they have very clerverly left original names on all the buses, barges and resorts that they bought last year!!

And yes, the Manta Ray (green and yellow) is still the indepandant barge and it is still running

As for accomodation, have a look in the back of your RACQ magazine

You poor poor man!!!! FAncy having to give up work to spend a few weeks on Fraser??? That's just not cricket!!!!!!!!
:-)

Have a great time brian (lucky bastard!!)

Sorry to hear of your predicament Brian. You will be saddened to hear that all the above advice is incorrect. In fact Kingfisher was able to extablish a monopoly on Fraser, however they ran foul of the ACCC and have had to close access to the island. It has been turned into a Tailor sanctuary, with the onyl access being via sighseeing by air. Guess you'll have to go back to work.

Any resemblance to actual truth is denied in the above diatribe. Go via the Manta Ray and help support the independant, and for those prices I would take the accomodation on the island. We loved Fraser when we were there except for the rain every day. I would love to be there when it was WARM and DRY hahahahahah.

All the best.

Gidday Brian,

We're heading over that way in November and are plannning to stay on the island for a night or two, can I bother you for phone numbers of the places you mentioned and are they kiddie friendly.

Watch for young ladies driving buses on tracks on Fraser. They do not give a stuff about anyone and deviating half a metre so each can pass in safety is not in there driving vocabulary. Just cringe and get off the road.
