Fraser Island info please

Thanks for your reply Myles F.
I believe the Fraser dawn Barge leaves Urangan Boat harbour & lands at Moon Point area when we arrive & departs at Moon Point for Urangan Boat harbour when we leave. I just want an idea how long the drive is for when we leave to see if it is feasable to leave from Cathedral beach on our last day before i book accomodation. This seems to be about the closest landing to Cathederal beach for when we arrive. I want to make this our base for the duration of our stay. I am happy to look at any other suggestions though. I really need to have power.I would like to have everything i can prebooked. We are travelling alone ( 1 vehicle) & intend to stay for 7 nights.

David,
You are spot on. You’ll have a great time. We’re lucky having so many great 4wd destinations and Fraser is one of the best. I’m booked to go there again on the 16th of December. I like Christmas on the island.
I always leave from Inskip Point. The barge trip from there is ten minutes tops where as the Fraser Dawn is about an hour. I would rather drive up the beach than drive the highway to Hervey Bay. Just a personal preference.
I can’t advise on the designated camp sites as I’ve always camped sheltered behind dunes on the beach. Solar panels make us self sufficient. I can say that after seven nights you will leave wanting more…. And that’s a good thing…. You will return.
Cheers,
Myles.

planning to go in august. i have just finished talking to owners of cathedral beach & they have suggested the barge from river heads to wanggoolba would be better than landing at moon point as track from moon point could be very soft in august. i think i will take their advice

Nice one we are heading over there this coming Sat for 6 nights with a bunch of other people can't wait :)

no worries wizard. as i said i was just trying to work out where we will stay on our last night. i didn't want to be struggling to make the barge on time so was looking for some sort of indication on travelling time. looks like i will just have to measure the string when i get there.and i guess most things take as long as they take.
