Hi folks. Just a quick question for you. We will be on holiday in July and intend to drive from
Brisbane to
Port Douglas stopping no the way ( 3 weeks ) and would like to go to Fraser Island to stay at one of the resorts for a couple of nights, is this possible with a large car, I realise that we would not be able to drive the tracks.
Thanks for your help
Ray

Ray,
Best idea would be to store your car in
Hervey Bay and catch the Quick Cat to Kingfisher Bay. From there they have bus trips etc for you to see the Island.
Google for Kingfisher Bay.
Marty.

A large car? You mean like a falcon (not 4wd). Then the answer is NO.
Well, actually you could drive it on the Kingfisher bay
jetty and then around the resort. (a few hundrad metres at best.) You might as
well just take the ferry to kingfisher and forget the car, and hire a small 4wd on the island.
Cheers
R.

Sid Melcham (spel?) sold his resort and barges to the Japenese owned Kingfisher Bay a few years ago.
