From the South via Gympie - Plan C
Third best option: When you have to travel at a time other than low tide, use the highway.
- This route is longer in distance but about the
same in travel time.
Driving Instructions:
- From Brisbane, drive north along the Bruce
Highway (1) as far as the southern outskirts of Gympie
(about 170km).
- Turn right at the sign to Tin Can Bay. This
road takes you through the southern suburbs of Gympie. Follow
the signs towards Tin Can Bay.
- Turn right at the sign to Rainbow Beach.
- Just as you enter town, the National Parks Ranger's office will be on
your right. Call in here for your Fraser Island vehicle permit, tide tables
and the latest info on Fraser Island beach and track conditions.
- Continue into town, pass the Shell service station on your left (last chance
for mainland fuel; not cheap, but cheaper than on the island), pass the park on your left and turn left at the sign to "Inskip
Point".
- Continue from Rainbow Beach to Eurong as per How
to get to Fraser Island Plan A.
