Catch the Manta Ray barge. Support the little guy, not the multi national..

Always supporting the small operater's when I can sometime they are the most trusted and will always help you if they can cheers chris

Interesting...... what is the figure? As in how many funell webs /square K?

From FIDO web site report on a Funnel web bite in 1995 (the last reported on Fraser it seems).

2. Discovery: Dr. Raven followed up this attack including field work in the area and meetings with residents. This is the first time that Funnel web spiders have ever been recorded from heath country. Funnel web spiders had been known from Fraser Island for years but only from rainforests. In the Ocean Lake- Orchid Beach area he discovered the highest density of Funnel-webs yet recorded (up to 252 per hectare). The Funnel-webs have been seen regularly in the houses at Orchid Beach but this is the only one person has been bitten so far.

For what it's worth, The Fraser Island Funnel Webs are much less poisonous than the Sydney and Toowoomba varieties. But I still wouldn't want to be bitten.

in the creek......where else?

well at the beach somewhere our base camp will be at central station

Chris, If it is your first trip to Fraser and you are going for a week or less, there is so much to see and do, you won't use the jet ski. Or if you do, you will miss a lot of great stuff.

You could spend a week there several times, and still not see and do it all.

Central Station is at least 30 mins over a pretty rough road from the nearest beach.

I've never seen a jet ski at Fraser. Doesn't mean they don't go there; perhaps I get around with my eyes closed.

Also, I wouldn't fall off too often. Fraser is a noted shark habitat. Swimming in the ocean is not recommended along the entire East Coast.

Sorry about all the negative stuff. Anyway, what ever you do, have fun.

Norm's hit the nail on the head mate!

I spend a week there over December and did not see one Jet-Ski either. If I was to take my Jet-Ski there I would want to camp right on the beach so I don't have to muck around on the very tight small soft tracks with people coming at me from the other end. There might be a time where it's a very narrow track and you will have to duck into the bushes to make way for the other car or there might be some reversing action...not the sorta thing that I would want to do. Leave the jet-ski for places like Straddie if you ask me.
