Sorry, it's not called Fraser Island any more. It's now named apostrophe something. I forget what the something is due to my abhorrence to the situation. I didnt know written language existed traditionally, especially the concept of an apostrophe.

Hi Pearce. It's about halfway along the beach between the sand blow and the mangroves. NE of the camping area. There is a cut off post at the head of the track going in. The track is not well used.I hope this helps. Let us know if you find it 🙂 cheers Will and Jill

Not a stupid question and I'm glad you enjoy our videos Ben. They can be BAD. The cooler months are good. They are worse with a Northerly, better in a South East and are not good when the weather is still and of course dawn and dusk. Mostly OK through the day. We have midge screens on Belisi and light a coil in the cockpit if they are around. There are worse places, and the beauty makes up for it 🙂
