Fraser Island Trip
Hey everyone. Thought I would share some pictures from a week long Fraser Island trip that I just got back from. Had two Bajas and my Baja bus, plus a
few waterboilers.
Happy to say that the bus went everywhere on the island and did all of the hard tracks. Was very impressed with how it performed.
On the barge.
Parked up at Eli Creek.
Heading north through Ngkala Rocks South Bypass track.
Lighthouse at Sandy Cape.
Lake Garrawonga.
A few old wrecks for Keith. Check out that bullbar!
Bit of a hillclimb up the the old Tower.
Nice view from up here!
You can see the old aircraft hanger. The runway is all overgrown.
And we found this written on one of the posts inside!!
Lake McKenzie.
Looking at the turtles at Lake Allom.
Out to the west coast for a swim.
Coming back the Awinya Creek track.
Sign at Champagne Pools says it all.
Awning city back on the west coast again.
View from Lake Wobby lookout.
Lake Birrabeen, this is my favourite lake.
Packed up ready to head home.
A couple of tag-a-longs!

Love it Smiley. Nice to see a budget bus that's so capable off road.
What sort of pressures were needed to get through the soft stuff?

I had 12 in the front and 8 in the back. Went everywhere and made some 4WDs look like fools

Video of the track coming back from Awinya Creek.
Some big holes in that.

If you let your tyres down it is a piece of piss. I think it gets a bit of a rep for being so difficult cause a lot of people are too lazy or stubborn
to drop air pressure. The bus chugged through it no worries.
I would guess that you should have no dramas if you have some reasonable ground clearance and drop your tyres down.

Very nice. Enjoy it mate, it's one of my favourite places to go.
We should catch up sometime. Maybe do a 5 Rocks run?
