How Bad/busy is Frazer Island at Easter

1) yeah its a nightmare at easter, i never go there at this time.
2) yes the tourist buses stop at indian, the campsite there is closed long ago
3) sand flies are bad on western side untill late May or so
4) you cant camp within 50m of a creek or in other areas not signed. About half of the beach is still ok to camp at. look at the map they give you when you get your permits the areas are marked on there.

We were there just before easter 2yr ago left on the wednesday before and was told by one of the local shop owners now is the time to get out of here as all the idiots start to arrive today and he was right. we saw nearly every idiot act you could imagine the morning we left .if you don't have to go i wouldn't bother.

Easter is a shocker!

If you are prepared to go past Orchid Beach you will find some peace, but don't expect solitude.

As said, there are regulations now on where you can beach camp.

To be honest, if you can go some other time, you should wait.

Stay at the resort at King Fisher Bay and it is bearable as you can get away form the village idiots on east beach and back civilisation in the evening. Having said that there aren't too many people at the spots to visits like Lake Mckenzie, etc. Seems they are all on East Beach or Ely Creek.

A lot thinking driving while your bleep is ok on the island as well...

We want to go back but not at Easter. Another BIG tip don't plan to drive back to Brisbane on the Monday via the Bruce Hwy it is an absolute NIGHTMARE! Took us 9 hours due to traffic jams in Gympie, etc and a !@##wit that rolled a trailer on an exit once the freeway started. Try and spend the extra day in Hervey Bay or Maryborough.

This year we go inland to Stanthorpe and avoid the crowds.

Easter on Fraser - multiple idiots committing mass acts of gross stupidity. Hell bent on cramming two weeks of boozing and hooning into 4 days. Barges out on Monday queued up for kilometres. Never ever again!!!!

Anywhere is mayhem at Easter, never ceases to amaze me as to why...I avoid doing anything but eating chocolate easter bilbies at Easter.
One year we were stuck in a traffic jam near Mt White for 2 hours, Why? Because some "christians" had mannaged to get the F3 closed so they could walk up the side of a hill with some poor guy pretending to strain under the weight of a styrofam cross...
