Eurong is a small tourist township located on the eastern side of Fraser Island. The Eurong Beach Resort is one of the main attractions for the town. It’s a popular holiday accommodation hub on Fraser Island.

The township is also a place where you can stop in for a pie or to pick up some supplies if you are camping or touring around the island.

How Do I Get To Eurong?

You will need a 4WD to get across to Fraser Island from the mainland by barge at either Rainbow Beach, Inskip Point or alternatively from Hervey Bay, River Heads.

Once you are on the island, a 4WD vehicle is necessary as there is extensive beach driving and rough terrain.

If you do not have a 4WD you can hire a vehicle or otherwise hop on a tour bus and visit for the day or a few nights.

Remember prior to your arrival to check the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for the conditions and closure report to tell you about any changes happening on the island.

Its also a good idea to keep a tides table book in your glove box or download a copy from BOM Tides.

Be sure to only travel 2 hours prior to low tide and no later than 2 hours after low tide.

It is only a small window of travel time but it is extremely important to plan your trip accordingly.
