to Fraser Island. Two days ago I took a day trip to Fraser Island. I normally like to avoid tour groups but because I could not rent a 4wd, I was left with no option. Luckily the Fraser Island Company tour group does small tours of no more than 16 people in a specially made 4wd vehicle. You have to pay extra for it, but it's so worth not having to spend the day in a group of 50 people. You have several options of 1, 2, and 3 day tours on the island. If your like me and planned your trip poorly so that you didn't have enough time, I'd recommend the 1 day trip. Only rent your personal 4wd if you're in a group and can alternate driving. The roads (i use that term loosely) are merely sand and dirt.
Our guide Hans (yes he was German) was excellent with a great sense of humor. There were only 4 other people about my age on the tour because young backpackers are cheap and don't do these types of things. I especially loved the couple from Hamburg who were hilariously ridiculous. The rest of the people were about 70 going on death. But they were friendly nonetheless. Old, but friendly.
