awsome pics mate looked like you guys had a ball i love fraser = dingo bar = backpackers yewww
I'll be there in 6 months, can't wait!!!!
Doesn't matter how many times you've been there, you will always go back!
Im guessing you landed at kingfisher bay ,coopatrol ?
Yes Fraser is a must do, but don't under estimate its size, its not known as the largest sand island in the world for nothing, we did over 1oooks exploring the island, and still had to go back again on another trip to see what we missed, so a week long stay minimum is advised just to get a feel for the place.
Still very keen to go back as well !
I was there in 2006 and heading there again Oct this year, love the place.
Nice pics.
Nice pics mate. Looking forward to Fraser after the Cape this year!

The ones near the city seem to be "one" row of spray only, ive tested a few out after beach trips, and i had to spend the same amount of time under the vehicle with a pressure hose to get rid of the sand, just as if i had not been to the car wash at all, so yeh, you may see a little bit of sand left, but the rainbow one does work.
Spent a few hours on Fraser Island when one of our helicopters decided not to play the game. The automatic flight control system computer had taken in water, so asked one of the locals for a hair drier. Dried it out and we were on our way again. Wish we could have spent abit more time there to have a look though.

Landed at the local airfield. Though I'm guessing that there's only the one?
Actually in defence. A navy seahawk. Flew down to Tasmania and back. Very painful flight.
Ah, pretty sure that would be Orchid Beach then, helipads at the above places, but other than 75 mile beach, i think Orchid is the only "official" air strip.
BTW, the pies from across the road (orchid beach trading post) are well worth a taste if you get chance :smile:
Can't wait to get back to Fraser :smiley_thumbs_up:
Shame on you Megatexture, as it is your backyard.....fantastic place, if it wasn't for all the tourists from Victoria.Quote:

You could spend weeks there

Bit of fish oil in all the right places, such as the joins between two panels, before you go helps too...Quote:
