Iam sure if you got stuck Drover in his Grand Cherokee would come and help you out !
Never been there, the price of the barge scares me off, looking at nearly $500 return with a van and add to that the beach permit , camp fees, way out of my league and as for the beach with a van thats always a gamble it can change overnight................. no rescue from this direction, I'd use a Bic.
I should add if I was towing a van along any beach I would do it with someone as sure as eggs you will need back up, its not fun by yourself....been there done that.
Vehicle return $280 + trailer return @ $55 per metre and thats the very back to the hitch, now thats scary..... permit $55

The cost of the ferry is indeed an issue but the sand tracks will stop you big time have seen just cars bogged to the sills there the calm side does not have a lot camp places as the tide comes up to dunes to get to the surf side the middle track is a real issue and only a few designated camp areas on the ocean side Moreton is place that usually attracts tents or camper trailers. Straddle is an alternative ferry a bit cheaper made roads and proper caravan parks and camping areas same type of scenery without the risk of getting stuck on deep sand tracks. Happy travel btw looking across to straddie having my morning coffee is a bit Smokey today
i will wait till the view is clearer as the smoke has now changed to rain ps its not straddie smokeWe don't believe you, where's the piccy......
Every island ive been to in the end is same or very much like the main land but far more expencive like all the islands in the Whitsundays i got married on one Long island nice but so is Airly beach and Dingo beach up the road
Except on LWE, public holidays when every man and his dog is lined up waiting for the barge, waiting for dumb Prado driver to get unbogged on the single track, etc,etc.................
Fraser, Straddie, I'm waiting for the bridge to built, be easier then...... maybe not though I've been to Bribie....
bridges to islands only get trotted when there is an election coming, lots of talk and promises then all is forgotten after the election , a bridge to tassie would be a good vote winnerFraser, Straddie, I'm waiting for the bridge to built, be easier then...... maybe not though I've been to Bribie....
