Hi all,I'm just wondering when is the best time to go to frazer. We were planing on next feb but friends of ours that are going with us was informed today she wont be able to go then. Now we want to go but out of holiday season eg not during school holidays. September this year is also out as we will be else where. Is there certain months that we shouldnt go due to high winds or big rains etc. Has thrown us right out so now have to reorganize again with 4 other couples/vehicles. Regards Steve M

When can you get away?

Once you rule out school holidays and the Toyota Fishing Comp. there is not a wrong time to go.

Friends have a house at Happy Valley and we have been at almost every season and haven't found a bad one yet.

Have fun and don't feed the dingos.

As above - there is NO bad time to go to Frazer (other than school hols).
My advice - stick to your original date and go, then make another time for the friends that missed out..................Keith

Hi Keith, If we have to then that is what we will do but if we can work around it then we will. We are all very good friends and try and get away together so if we can work it out then all the better. Regards Steve M

Not next week!

Fraser is a big place, as long as you avoid xmas/new year and Easter you are pretty safe

In my opinion give November to late February a miss especially if you have anyone in the group who reacts badly to insect bites. The marsh flys are prevelent at that time of year and can take an arm off :)

I'd suggest you try July - October (excl Sept hols) if you'd like to try the tailor fishing. Even for someone who hasn't fished much before one hot session on these could be something you'll never forget. Even the kids can join in on the lighter gear as Dart can be targeted with pippies as they hang around the tailor looking for scraps. Just look for a good gutter or a mob of fisherman at dawn or dusk. Check out Ausfish or Fishing Fraser Island for tips on gear & techniques if you go down this path.

March & April, October are probably the best months if you are just going to be doing the touristy things of hitting the lakes etc, as the water shouldn't be too cold to take a nice dip.

Cheers
