queensland Fraser island help needed

[fisherjack1394]

hey guys first post on here for a while

in early September myself and approx 10 others, instead of doing our annual rainbow beach trip are extending it out to Fraser island.

as all of us are Fraser virgins i was hoping for a little bit of advice in the camping, fires, fishing(sharks,tailor) departments.

i know on rainbow open fires are permitted but there seems to be a little bit of doubt as to the rules on the great island? also is there any beach camping permitted or do we have to book a campsite for the week? all and any advise would be greatly appreciated

cheers jacko.

Hey Jacko, it been a few years since I was on Fraser but then no camp fires were allowed, you could at that time camp on the beach in certain areas with out pre booking. As for sharks I would not swim out past the breaking surf or in deep gutters there plenty of bities around but won't worry your fishing. Sorry cant offer more but as I said its been a while.

Cheers

We camp on the beach front camping at Waddy Pt. Fires are allowed in the fire rings in the campsite, all timber must be milled and the fishing is usually just out the front of the camps up to Ngkala Rocks.

We'll be there from the 1-7th of September

hey mate we are going until the 3rd of September. about a week. when you say milled timber dose that mean i can go and get a uteload and split it with the axe out on our farm?

[Damien2Rad]

Not really.

Every thing we take is floorboards, fencing, decking etc from construction sites / reno's and get our kindling from a mate who's a shop fitter / chippy... Mind you, we're usually the only camp to follow that rule to a T.

I'd look into getting your camping spot booked soon, it can be busy around that time of the year.
