Title: Beach camping: Fraser Island
Post by: McAbouts on February 27, 2012, 08:36:56 PM
Hi all,

Interested in some recommended spots to beach camp near Frasers at Cathedral. Staying there 5nights and want to do a couple of nights nearer to the beach to get some solid fishing in. Can't wait to note your ideas.

Cheers
Louise :D

Took this pic with my mobile phone, sorry about the poor quality...this spot is about a K north of the Cathedrals...didn't have to go far for bait and a fish, just a leasurely stroll out the front of the campsite...top spot :cup:

For a fishing trip we normally camp right inbetween Cathedral and Dundeburra. Close to the Cathedral shop and the Dundeburra showers. There have been a few decent gutters to fish in close to Dundeburra the last few years also. There are quite a few good flat spots and the occasional small tree for a little protection.

If with the missus, we camp at Dundaburra. Toilets + showers = less whinging.

Enjoy your trip

We stay ~200m short of Cathedrals.  Its a nice central spot with only a few mins drive to Eli, Dundurra (Showers) etc.

When we go back we will stay in the same spot if its free.
