Very excited Razz - just booked our Fraser accomodation at Easter. Hotel of course as it's our anniversary and mrs dukemasterpro did not fancy a campsite full of noisy backpackers and dingos! Rolling Eyes We are doing day trips basically out of the Kingsfisher resort so will be back in time for a sunset cocktail or two. Smile

Wondering what tips others might have as to must-see spots on the island and any parts where we might have to think about recovery as we are going solo.

Our equipment list is going to contain -

Snatch strap and shackles ( check )
Spade ( check )
Food / water supply ( check )
First Aid kit ( check )
Maxxtrax ( thinking of buying these )
ARB Portable Compressor or similar ( again on the wish list )


ARB Tyre gauge and deflater ( again on our to buy list )
Landrover Assist ( do they come onto Fraser??? Rolling Eyes )

If anyone has any other essentials they can recommend or have used successfully before or perhaps might have for sale (keep the budget down as we are going to Noosa and Byron too Whistle )

We are there between 5th-9th April should any forum members be there and need a tow or vice versa.


That brings back memories, i was once one of them their pack backers back in 91 and went camping on the island for 3 days we had a land cruiser then, there was 8 of us me and 7 girls i got well looked after!!
would love to go again but a bit far to take the Disco!
Hope you had a good time.

We were backpackers there too, Christmas 1997. The best Christmas ever. We went on a self drive 3 day tour, hiring two Defender 110's with zebra stripes.[/img]
