Fraser Island

Greg was there about six weeks ago eli now runs straight onto beach no longer follows base of sand dune water level much lower in the creek when i was there in fact the timber steps at the top of the creek were cordoned off as they no longer touch the water,could cross anytime when i was there,worth a trip to moon point totally different to east side,no waves white sand very protected,also man made roads across mangroves worth a look just a short distance from moon point lots of history,worst place in the sand is generally on/off the barge.
Also go to the lighthouse at the top well worth it and there is now a bypass around the ngkala rocks
Have a great trip.

I'll be up there myself next week. Look out for a white NM Pajero with a SmartBar, camping up past Orchid Beach.

You will need to get you pass from the ranger station in Tewantin or Rainbow beach or on line and they all have up to date info.
If you are coming from the south-- the trip - via the beach - tewantin to rainbow beach is a great run. and the ferry at tewantin starts at 5.30am every day of the year.
You should have no problems travelling anywhere on fraser - run the beach at low water times - lower you tyre pressure - if you havent been there for some time you will be surprised at the traffic - tourist traffic.- Most of the backpackers hire troopys - 11 on board - and take off.I have been going to fraser for over forty years and the only problem has been bad weather exposing rocks on the beach.
If you want a bit of luxury- try a night or two at Yidney rocks cabins - They will sleep two families - are north facing - and the fishing out the front is usually good. About $160 per night and self contained
In november you can expect storms - so make sure that your camp site is protected from the south easterlies- northerlies can get up to 20k but usually drop out at night.
