4WD Fraser Island

Although intriguing, your 4WD Fraser Island experience must be tempered with some sound advice. Four-wheel driving on Fraser Island may sound exhilarating, but you do need to avoid making some common mistakes. In being conscientious, you will still be able to enjoy your experience but be less likely to suffer any mishaps along the way.

• When it comes to 4WD, don’t believe everything you hear – especially if it comes from the person trying to sell you the car. You must do extensive research, based on what you’d like to use the car for as well as where you plan on driving it.
• You don’t necessarily need to buy a new vehicle. Ask yourself how often you plan on using the 4WD car, how many people it needs to accommodate, and where you are going to use it. If it’s a second car that you plan on using only occasionally on weekends or for longer holidays, a second-hand car is ideal.
• One of the best things you can do is hire a 4WD vehicle before you buy one, and use the vehicle for what you had in mind if you were to buy your own. This will give you a good idea what the car is capable of, as well as providing insight into how 4WD on Fraser Island works.

• If you’d like to take a break and enjoy something more in tune with nature, why not go for a fishing expedition or some bird watching? You won’t even have to leave the campground to enjoy sightings of Kookaburras or one of the 90 species of birds that call our property home.
• You can also take a walk on the sand dunes or one of the exquisite beaches.
• If you’d prefer more adventure, you could book a 15-minute flight over the island, to enjoy the view from a different angle.
