Beach camping: Fraser Island
« 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

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.
