My Fraser Island March 2020
« on: May 13, 2019, 09:11:31 PM »
Fraser Island March 2020

When:- Saturday 7 March - Sunday 15 March 2020

Duration:- 7 Days

Meeting:- Inskip Point (see below)

Trip Leader:- Hangman(Ian) 0401 294 348

UHF:- Channel 15

Cost:-  Barge Fees see here https://mantarayfraserislandbarge.com.au/bookings-fares

          Camping Fee see here https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/experiences/camping/camping_fees.html
 
          Vehicle Permit see here https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/fraser/

Other:-

I suggest camping overnight at Inskip Friday night leaving first barge Saturday morning. Low tide is at 6am, first barge at 6am so leaving from Brisbane early is an option.

This is My Fraser, I'll show you some things not on the tourist trail.
 
No trailers, this will be a touring trip.

Showers are $1 in camp grounds, bring coins.

Fuel is available on the island but be prepared to pay $2-3/L

Several nights we will be bush camping, there are NO Facilities and you will need fresh water for cooking and drinking.

More details to follow, itinerary etc

Just got an email from NPWS, Eli Creek and Maheno Beach Camping Zones are closed during our time there, so we can camp Wahba Zone 5.

The countdown is on!!

Your to do list should include:

* Booking campsites for on Fraser

* Pre-booking barge (if you would like to) you'll need to call to make the pre-payment - 6am barge on 7 March

* Beach vehicle permit

* If you are camping at Inskip on 6 March - camping permit.

Please ask ANY questions you have below.

Do we want to do a fire at Dundubara or Waddy point?

If yes, then if every one brings some wood we can all enjoy a fire on one or both of these nights.
