Hello there everyone,
I have 3 weeks to spare and have never before been 4x4ing in QLD.
(I will be leaving NSW Central Coast on 17th April to travel north).
I bank manager has her heart set on Fraser Island for a week, 1 down & 2 to go.
I have had a quick look at the TREK Notes but have not found a lot for QLD.
Can I have some suggestions on where to go & trek notes if possible?
I would like to stay south of Fraser if possible; I don’t really want to do a dash to the Cape or anything silly like that!! LOL...
We are fully self sufficient and am towing a
Cape York Deluxe Adventurer 4x4 trailer for info.
Thanking you guys / girls in advance,
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew
There are heaps of place to go to, best idea would be to do searches on here or the web.
There are our lovely beaches, especially 40 mile otherwise known as Teewah or Coloured Sands north of Noosa, 2 nice Gorges Cania or Caranvon (info below) if you are going up that far?
Here are a few sites for you to go over though.

http://www.atn.com.au/qld/south/fraser.htmhttp://www.frasercoastholidays.info/http://www.atn.com.au/parks/qldparks.htmlhttp://www.epa.qld.gov.au lists all N.P. and info required
If you're interested in a good people friendly N.P. try Girraween N.P. on the Nsw/Qld border but if you want something more 4WD challenging then try Sundown N.P. just opposite Girraween. (good for a day drive in if staying at Girraween)
I will not comment on a towing a trailer in as we never saw anyone with them.
Sundown is not generally visited because of the rough 4WD track into it.
Here you will take approx 2 hours to travel just the track into Burrows
Waterhole which is quite a
nice camp area.
You will need to carry EVERYTHING in and out.
Hope these help?
