home  Fraser Island  ACCESS  
 

There is no bridge to the mainland so access to Orchid Beach on Fraser Island is via vehicular barges, aircraft, cruise vessels, private boats or on a commercial tour.  Roads on Fraser Island are mainly sandy tracks and beaches which can only be negotiated by 4 Wheel Drive vehicles.

4WD: Travel by vehicular barge (Manta-Ray 0418 872 599 or Rainbow Venture (07) 5486 3154) from either Inskip Point or Hervey Bay to the island and drive up the main ocean beach. Hervey Bay is only a 3 1/2 hour drive north of Brisbane or a one hour flight.
