looking at that first photo of old mate stuck in there serves himself right he;s way to high up the creek should be down lower near the surf where the sands harder.

So True, its amazing how many people drive up in the soft crap instead of staying on the hard sand.... the car s already on the beach a bit of salt water wont kill it !!  my company hilux loves washouts, down somewhere near the breakers !  No need to modify it ! Just hit the hardest sand and the shallowest water... if in doubt a bit of pace seems to do the trick !

Hi Jet crew,
Now i'm not a fraser expert....but ,we just spent a week there before the school hols.
We stayed at dilli village wich was more than ok.They have cabins aswell.
I agree with the Eli creek photo, stay low at the water ways and no prob.
I will admit i drove out along the creek once or twice but had no issues.

Cheers Ian.

Re Kingfisher.  Yes, it's quite a different kind of accommodation to that of the Eastern side.  Packages can be good value, and it's nice around the bar/pool/restaurant area.  But you might have to take out a loan to eat dinner there.  So they give the peasants an annexe out the back, which is kind of like one of those run-down ski-resort bistros with game machines and kids running wild.
