Fraser Island at Easter

Could not believe the line waiting to get on the ferry on the news last night. People interviewed had been waiting hours. Bob.

We were up there end of March and had a ball although my mate got bogged on the way to Moon point in the mozzie breading area opening the door to go help out and you couldn't see out the other side of the cab with the amount of mozzies that came in. Our eldest then didn't like the place cos of the mozzies.

the week before Easter was much more pleasant, very few people there considering it was school holidays, and then the crowds arrived on Good friday. i drove straight onto an empty barge Sunday when we arrived and had to wait 15 minutes until the barge filled up before we departed. same again when we left the next Sunday morning, though it was only 3 vehicles on the return run.
first vehicle to drive through our camp looking for somewhere to set up on Friday, was at 6.00 a.m, every 20 - 30 minutes a new wave of vehicles would head past up the beach looking for campsites.
we left Sunday morning as we'd had enough of the crowds, the week before was good enough for us.

We are going up there on the 6th June. I was going to take the ferry from the southern end Rainbow Beach and then travel up the east coast of Fraser Island. We will be taking a camping trailer with us.

Wife wants a few nights at Kingfisher Resort although I have heard mixed reports about it.

Should not be too crowded that time of the year.

Cheers
