Fraser Island – watch for soft roads... JayJay

JJ I was just there two weeks ago and could not believe the amount of low clearance vehicles over there Hyundai Tuscon, Subaru's Foresters etc. Then of coure there was the club cars that are about 4 foot in the air to the diff. I followed a Subaru wagon type thing, looked like a commodore with a front diff back from lake mackenzie, it was great the track was flattened out, i could not help but wonder how much the Subaru was damaged. I would not take my Hilux around Bathurst at speed so why do peope persist with these cars of washed and churned out tracks. Oh well at least they are having fun.

The 198x Mazda 323 on the beach near the Mahino Wreck around new years day must have not read the article.

Did see a soft-roader have a lot of problems reaching the barge on the 24th Dec though. Good entertainment.

Redeye

You could always read this .

fraser report

I was there a couple of weeks ago and I did notice all the little 4x4 on Fraser and they were having lots of fun on the cuttings :-)

I take it that the beach cuttings at Tewantin must be a mess also. On a positve note the king tide and rain must have helped settle it all down.

Kind regards

I haven't been up to Fraser for maybe 3 years but last time I was there the Hook Pt bypass road was in absolutely woeful condition. I'd say I could maintain a top speed of about 20km/h in the old 40 Series, and it was an extremely rough and painful drive. I was just wondering if there's been any upgrade or improvement done since? Just curious!

Cheers,
Socey.

Are you in Hervey Bay JJ??

jay jay believe they leave the tracks and roads rough as guts to slow the traffic down over holidays never mind the lads who sat at orchard powdering up the track also dug a trench at the top to add too there entertainment. (every dog has his day) hook point has been a bit scary for awhile now same ol story if your going to travel the beach know the tide times and sizes and know your tyre pressures and load your vechile correctly dags
