Fraser Island !!!

If you're camping, make sure you read the dingo safe literature.
The rangers are very strict.
All food has to be in dingo proof containers, rubish bins must have sealed lids etc etc...

Jay,
When we planned our Fraser trip, I got lot of info from this forum too!
Take the Bushmans Ultra with you... and use the roll on rather than the spray on 'cos it's so damned expensive!! But more than worth it. The flies at Dundubara would just about carry you away from sheer numbers!!!! But rub this stuff on and instantly no flies for 8 hours!!! (God only knows what it does to your skin... LOL)
Good camping??? just about everywhere... fishing I would think to be similar... make sure you set aside some time to "sight-see"... have a drift down Eli Creek... take a swim in Champagne Pools.... go for the drive to Wathumba.... The inland lakes are spectacular!! We drove the Southern Lakes Tourist Drive from Dilli Village to Eurong... also the Lake Garawongara trip from Happy Valley down to Poyungun Rocks... but I did hear from several people that the Northern Lakes Drive was very difficult in places.
There's so much to see on Fraser... it's an awesome place!!!!! Have a great trip!
Cheers
Brian

You can obtain your camping and vehicle permits from the ranger station at Rainbow or the shop at River Heads, depending on where you plan to leave the mainland.
Waddy point has good camping, but take some 50 cent coins for the shower.

Jay, do your booking and paying on-line then just pick up the permits and paraphenalia when you get to RB. Plan each days activities (around the tides) before you go, but be prepared to be flexible.

I wouldn't camp at Dunduburra - don't like caravan park style camping, but some do. Take plenty of 50 c pieces if you plan to use the showers there (50 c = 3 mins).

Ensure you have enough secure lidded boxes (plastic or whatever) and tie down straps to make the camp dingo-proof. Read and follow all the "be dingo wise" information - it is important and you will have a better time if you adhere to the advice.

Do not take/use/wear blue clothes/tarps/tents etc - the horse/march flies are attracted to blue, especially the shade of blue those common tarps.

If you haven't done an archive search here, do - there's heaps of info and advice. Also, head over to Overlander forum and do a quick search there for more info.

Just came back from Fraser.
Highly recomend camping on the western side at AWINYA creek, or if you prefer better facilities(i.e showers and toilets, wathumba crossing) It was deserted almost when we were there. Fantastic fishing at wathumba. If you like your 4wdriving chaleenging go via woroali(not sur on spelling) track. Travel in pairs if u don't have a winch. Very sandy and hilly, don't recommend a trailor as there are many wombat holes.
