FRASER ISLAND (K'GARI)- Dingoes | Shipwreck | Beaches |Camping, PART 1 - Episode 66

We've been hanging out to get to Fraser Island and it's finally here!!!
We head out early to River Heads to catch the 8.30 Ferry. On our way to our first camp on the east side we stop off at Lake McKenzie (with around 1000 other tourists!!).
Our first camp is only a short 300 metre walk away from the beautiful Maheno Shipwreck.
We spend our first few nights at Wahba Campground right on the beach before moving onto Ocean Lake Campground a bit further north on the island. The dingoes in this are are very active and and very interested in our fishing rod!! This island is stunning!

Guys - us that school hols?
Busier than a train station 😂
Awesome island, need to get back there soon!

[@lappnitup]

Nah this was about 2 weeks before school holidays but it was around midday which is when everyone seems to go including the tour buses!! Best to go late in the arvo which is why we went back. It was sensational with no-one there!
Magnificent island and we are already talking about going back 👍

One place we would love to go seen a lot of vlogs on it and looks amazing. Not sure how a stock standard new Pajero Sport would cope with H/T tyres would love some help with that as new to this 4x4 stuff. Think we'll head there later this year as looks like won't be long before traffic lights are needed😂. The shipwreck would definitely be a highlight as right into the pics.Thanks again for your work putting this together, stunning. Was the bladder really full of water or something more tasty.

Thanks Brenton, the Pajero Sport would be fine. With lowered tyre pressures you’d have no problems. There’s a few sandy parts but nothing really difficult. The trackers through the middle of the island are mostly hard sandy dirt and out on the beach is mostly hard too.
I wish the bladder was full of something more tasty as it wouldn’t have hurt so much 😋

[@brentonl1746]

Thanks for that fortunately we are travelling with friends just think it's safer when your not that experienced in 4x4.

Even better if you’re travelling with someone else. Make sure you have recovery gear just in case and there’s also plenty of people that stop to help anyway. We got bogged on Fraser (next weeks episode) but it was going into the entrance to our camp and the young guys there had dug big holes when they were mucking around and of course we got stuck there! Around 10 guys came out of the wood work to help. We also had a fuel filter problem and broke down and heaps of guys came to our rescue. Lucky 2 of them were mechanics. 👍
