Fraser Island - which tide times?

New$by

Use the Waddy Point chart as the timing is close to Hook Point. You will notice a small difference, but plan your travels 3 hours either side of the Waddy low and you will have no dramas

I would use Waddy Point

Make sure you checkout the latest conditions on this site

FRASER ISLAND

Trust you have booked all our permits and camp sites?

Enjoy the trip be careful as there will be thousands of people there

Another thing make sure you go on the MANTA RAY ferry they are the locals green with yellow writing should be over on the left when get onto the beach from Inskip

Just got back on Tuesday. Wonderful place.

You can expect extensive traffic delays at Yidney rocks bypass. We spent twenty minutes waiting for traffic on Tuesday (7/4/09)morning, that is with little traffic on the island.

Lots of rocks exposed on the beach.

Have a great time.

Just spoke to my mate who 2 mins ago (Thursday 2:00pm) got to Orchid beach.
He said the run to Poyungan rocks is a breeze. He was 2 hours before low when they got off the barge and it was easy till then. Says the beach down to the barge is packed hard as so many people using it. (I see they are running the inskip ferry all through the night tonight). HOWEVER, as per the EPA conditions report, there is NO BEACH at Poyungan rocks and they had to wait ages for someone towing a jayco camper trailer to get over. He had no trouble though. (But he's got a new 4.5l diesel cruzer which will be DiD so loads of torque there).

However, by Sunday, things may be churned up a bit.

Well see. Thanks for all the posts.

Just spoke to my mate who arrived at Cathedral Beach this arvo. Apparently, the camper trailers are struggling at the narrow bits through the rocks. He said that an offroad Jayco camper trailer did some panel and side step damage getting through. I was gonna tow my offroad Windsor Rapid on Saturday, but now leaving it home and tenting it. He even said that a box trailer might be a liability.
