Perhaps I should clarify, I'm luckly enough to get over there most years and agree it's not overly difficult, but
if Inskip to the barge is a breeze then Fraser will be a breeze, if it's tricky then the island will likely be a bit less tricky. The island usually gets mote rain than Inskip.

Cheers Glen.

Chilly,
was there last week and saw a Delica, Vitara, and a Mitsubishi Outlander getting around just fine.
Saw them on the Eastern Beach coming from the barge at Inskip, Lake McKenzsie and coming across from Wanggoolba creek.

I recon they would have been pushing a bit of sand around on the track from Central to Eurong, but at least the Delica and the Outlander made it.

Only trouble spots I'd see for you were over Nagala rocks as the ruts for the first 30 meters there are ground into the coffee rocks and the lake up into Happy Valley at the moment is more than 600mm deep.

Cheers Glen

I honestly would advise against it. I went to Bribie on the weekend and although I powered past many larger 4wds bogged as soon as got into the thick stuff I bottomed out and that’s where I stayed. Clearance is the DS archillies and Bribie is basic compared to Fraser and InSkip. Unless you get better AT tyres + significant clearance you will do nothing but frustrate your mates with low range constantly pulling you out.

Yes same as Evoque which is D sport in fancy pants.

That front crossmember is the problem in deep ruts.

But they go well in unrutted sand as good P/w ratio.
