SAJ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would like to know if you need permission to land at Fraser island. SAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarby Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 No but I suggest calling The Trading Post to check on the strip. I assume you mean landing at Orchid Beach. Landing on the beach requires a special permit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarby Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 There is a $20 landing fee at Orchid Beach, but its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nice spot, I've been in there a few times ( lived in the area for 20 years) ,a bit of advice , regardless of which way you takeoff turn over the beach , make sure you are at rotate speed around half way , there's been a few hit the trees at either end, and have a good look at the water near Indian head , there's the biggest manta ray I've ever seen living there , there's also the odd shark off the eastern beach.

John Nooyen Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 A group of us flew to Orchid Beach and stayed for a couple days. Anthony runs the rental accomodation. The shop runs the airstrip, and has standard unleaded. Not sure what his number is.
