Fraser trip report

Hi all,

Well, we arrived back from our week at Fraser this arvo. What a magic place! We had an amazing week exploring the island from top to bottom and inside out. The tracks were all good - the recent rain has helped I think. There weren't many crew on the island also, which was great! I imagine it could get pretty hectic at times!

The petrol was around $1.85. Cartons were $45 (luckily we took enough of our own). Found someone selling live worms for $1 - they are great bait! Caught good sized whiting, bream and dart on my $50 k-mart special and had a ball doing it!

We had dinner at the Eurong Beach Resort one night, and unfortunately can't recommend the food - though the service was good. The bakery pies are great!

We had awesome accomodation at the Fraser Island Beach Houses, which are in a beautiful location. (It would've been nice to have a more hospitable host though - he didn't smile or make us feel welcome at all when we checked in - something that should be manditory at 4.5 star digs! Maybe he was having a bad week, but still ... )

The inland driving was great and the lakes are stunning! Kingfisher is luxurious and a few beers around the pool was great! There really are some beautiful (and quiet) spots on the west coast!

We will be back, but we're keen to camp next time as we picked-out some great spots - on the eastern beach, Waddy Point, at central station and also on the west coast!

After we got off the barge today, we drove back to Rainbow via the beach - nice drive - different from Fraser again! Had lunch and then a surf in Rainbow to top off an incredible week!!!

Thanks to all those who offered me advice and info in my other thread before we went. The Bravo did a great job! Had the tyre pressure at around 28psi and never had to use my new tow hook.

Cheers and chilly Fraser beers,
Diz
