Fraser Island: Everything you need to know for your first visits!

We spent just under a week on Fraser Island, exploring Central Station, Lake MacKenzie, Eurong Resort, the Maheno Wreck, Eli Creek and Champagne Pools up the top. We share what the roads are like, strategies for driving on the sand or beach, even how to get out of a bogged situation. All the tip, tricks and hacks you need to know before going to Fraser Island. If you are only going to watch one video before going to Fraser with some advice, this is it!

[@barrysimmons4910]

Frazer Island very nice place to visit , thanks for showing it great video.

[@todoingfamily]

Very pretty spot.

[@raymondcasey5747]

Just found your channel. Great video. Looking forward to going through the rest of them.

[@ArfadandAfro]

I really enjoyed your series including this one. Awesome effort and work to put this out for us.

[@todoingfamily]

Thanks for letting us know, and for watching!

[@damianhopton3362]

Awesome as usual, just fantastic with what you are doing

[@todoingfamily]

Thanks so much Damien, been a wonderful journey.

[@noproblem2big337]

Great video, the different colours of the lakes and that champagne pool looked very relaxing... 19:34 ants stealing a slice of pizza

[@todoingfamily]

We were lucky to get it to ourselves a bit by coming in the afternoon. Being right up the top, a lot of tour buses seem to hit it early on in the day then work back. Thanks again for the comment! 👍

Great video

[@jodyrafter]

omg what a great video you have brought back so many memories from my time back packing in australia in 2001 and i spent 4 nights on fraiser island wow it has changed so much there were no proper camp grounds or shops it was totally different we had to bring everything with us (beer included!!!!!)when i was there but i loved Lake Mackenzie and Eli Creek thank you for bringing back those memories with a fabulous visual really enjoying your vlogs Lots of love from a fellow caravaner in Ireland xxxxx

[@todoingfamily]

Wow, thanks for watching for Ireland! Hope to make it there one day 👍

[@newbris]

Maybe you just missed them. Shops and campgrounds were there in the 90's when I first went.

[@lachlanmann841]

Great video! Loved the drone footage 👍

[@todoingfamily]

Thanks mate! Hard to take a bad drone shot over such a beautiful place. Definitely take one!!

[@cruiseroutdoors0786]

A really good video now we will have to check out Fraser.

[@todoingfamily]

We can't wait to go back and do the North West and West!

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

Man Fraser Island looks like a dream! Still haven't been across here yet and we are on out 2nd lap around Aus! Great video you guys! Those beaches are unreal

[@todoingfamily]

It really is! Such an awesome place to visit, definitely one for the list.

[@op2352]

great video mate

[@Krooker85]

Great video guys! Fraser island is definitely on our bucket list. What time of year were you there?

[@todoingfamily]

Just a few weeks back! October/November timeframe.

[@andrewhughes7382]

Thanks for the video guys. We are planing a trip to Fraser in November. are the beach camp grounds big enough for a camper trailer to set up

[@todoingfamily]

Yep, they absolutely are. You just pick your own spot within a defined area for the beach camps 👍

[@paulsteven4551]

Advice if you are touring with a tent. Get a touring tent. Maybe bulky, but literally camp is setup in 20 minutes max.

[@todoingfamily]

Thanks for sharing the tip! We had to go with our setup due to size and weight for a whole lap of Australia. Agree though, if just in tents would've been great.

[@marlxxv]

what tyre pressure you had mate?

[@Mick_4591]

Was hoping to see some footage of Inskip Point driving across to get on the ferry. fuel available on the island?

[@todoingfamily]

It was actually pretty mundane! Straight accross, tyres at 18psi from the Carpark, straight up onto the ferry. But of a beat up! Fuel is around, but we used less than a tank filled at Rainbow Beach before going over. Standard LC200 138L tank. Sorry me didn't include that, was very mundane though!!

[@Mick_4591]

@@todoingfamily Thats ok i find it quite funny watching these videos from Inskip ,on You tube.Its something i interested in doing some time.

[@todoingfamily]

Yeah I am not sure what they do, obviously wrong air pressures!

[@Mick_4591]

@@todoingfamily and no idea what they are doing

[@newbris]

@@todoingfamily Plus sand shifts a lot and dry hot weather obviously makes it much worse.

[@tomneedham2596]

will you be visiting any other country in the near future

[@queerfusion]

From Sydney, do you recommend the barge from Inskip or River Heads?

[@todoingfamily]

Really depends on where you want to come in on the Island. We took the barge from Inskip (it's not that bad!) And were happy with the route. 👍

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Have you seen the movie rocket post. England and other country looked for rocket engineers to fire rockets to send mail from main land and island to island. Just as ww2 started Germany called back the engineers. They selected the ones the wanted. The rest where killed off so the an enermy if captured would not use them. Russell

[@todoingfamily]

No we haven't! Thanks for the tip, will have to look it up!!

[@bskjonnemand]

Would it be worth it to go during winter? Got a friend coming from Alaska and I want to take her there but will it be worth it during winter?

[@dev_hydra1902]

I don't really know.we where there during october-November so I don't know what it would be like in the winter.

[@newbris]

Weather averages > 20c even in winter.

[@peterbarber7613]

the stupid thing is you have to pre-pay & book your camp sites and if your not in a camp site where your suppose to be you will get a fine

[@todoingfamily]

Yep, definitely makes it hard when no internet access either. You think a hotspot would make sense, just for that purpose.

[@peterbarber7613]

@@todoingfamilythe thing I don't like is what accommodation there is(motels) don't have accommodation for disabled

[@matthoskin3572]

You literally showed nothing except going to Eli with kids, and getting bogged. setting up a tent at Central Stn, and doing what EVERYONE else does on East side - driving up beach and visiting every single tourist spot.. Why don't you show how to get to ferry points, what you need to do to your 4WD before driving on the island, where to get supplies, where to get water, where to drive during high/low tides. places for families/kids to stay. The West Side. How to get on/off barges with trailer/caravan etc. Where to do Laundry. Places to eat. Places to get fuel. What equipment needed to go there in terms of recovery gear etc.... How to get to Sandy Point. How to get to Wooralie Creek, Wathumba creek, and Moon Point and Coongil. If coming on from Manta Ray, how to navigate beach and inland. What are the spots on SW side like Ungowa etc. Maybe explain that getting Barge from River Heads to Wongoolba Creek that you can easily drive the inland roads to Dili Village and then up beach to Eurong faster and easier that from Kingfisher . You showed literally what a thousand other people have uploaded......
