A map of Fraser Island would be handy.

EPA office no lonfger in Ann St.

It's now DERM Brisbane Referral Centre
Level 3 400 George St

The inland "track" (more like corrugated nightmare) runs from the barge drop off up to about 5K short of Dilli Village. Don't attempt Hook Point any more than 2 hours either side of low tide.

Sorry MrBitchi didnt see your little map link before posting.

Thanks Allan

I found the tide info, but the barge and other info I didn't know, but it will be very handy.

I have paid for the permit over the telephone and the 'packs' with blank permits are always out the front of the office at rainbow beach so I'll be able to get an early start to get within the two hour window for the tide.

I just have to remember to write the permit number on the permit.

The last time we were on the island there was a really bad storm late in the afternoon. It collapsed our tent and rolled the BBQ and gas bottle about 30 mtrs.

Many people left the island minus their tents and other bits and pieces.

The dog, 4 adults and 2 babies slept in the Tercel that night. (We left the inlaws corolla on the mainland for the 4 days.)

We looked like a bunch of rejects from a $2 shop when we got off the island next day and finally got a room in the Highlander (I think) motel in Warwick that night.

Thanks Allan

Hmmmm, probably not the best day to go over for just the day with the tides, but thems the breaks.

Thanks for the additional info.

You could still have a good visit. There are by-passes at Eurong and Happy Valley and you can use the inland tracks to visit the lakes and Central Station.
On the island, check for the latest advice at the QWPS Information Centre at Eurong.

After looking at the above maps and tides I was going to go along the inland track, then beach then inland, then come back to the beach then then inland , then beach etc That way I can minimise the beach use until later.

My wife Frances, definitely wants to see the hidden city if you can still get to it, anyway we'll soon find out.

Hidden City?? There are dozens of Hidden Cities all over Australia but I don't know of one on Fraser Island. There is a Hidden Lake, about 7km walk in from the Northern Road. Perhaps Frances has the name wrong?
