Hook Point

From the barge landing the first place you will pass is Hook point.

There is not much to look at, but it’s best known as the landing point for ferry services from Inskip Point Rainbow Beach to Fraser Island.

It is a bit over a kilometre for the barge land and can take a about 5 minutes to get to the actual tip at Hook Point.

Hook Point to Dilli Village (*20 minutes)

The next landmark is the turnoff to Dilli Village.

This is predominately an Educational Base Camp however you can still book and stay at Dilli Village on Fraser Island

You will see the sign and the track into Dilli Village at about the 25 minute mark.

Dilli Village to Eurong (*15 Mins) 11km

Eurong Beach Resort by the pool

After leaving the barge it’s (1 hour – 1 hour and 15 minutes) of driving until you reach Eurong Village.

The Eurong Beach Resort is one of the main attractions for the town.

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.

Barge

You should remember that these times are an estimate (guide only) from our experiences driving the island.

Many factors will alter the times including:

  • Tide times – Even low tides can be higher than usual with large swell, especially windy days.
  • Beach Conditions – sometimes the beach can be full of debris, washouts and whoopies.
  • Barge availability – May be a huge line up to get on the barge so you will need to wait.
  • Traffic – traffic on the beach can be hectic, be aware of speed zones.
  • Weather -wind and rain lowers visibility so the drive can be slower.
  • Towing – this can make for a slow trip with a heavy load.

Only attempt this drive 2 hours either side of low tide as the beach around Hook Point can be very soft at high tide.

*Calculated using an Average Speed of between 60Km/H

  • Calculated at the average speed at 60km/h, taking into considerations of the 40Km zones. These are a guide only and can vary greatly depending on beach and tide conditions as well as the slower speeds required on the inland tracks
