SAJ Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I would like to know if you need permission to land at Fraser island. SAJ
rdarby Posted September 25, 2012 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
rdarby Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 There is a $20 landing fee at Orchid Beach, but its worth it.
metalman Posted April 10, 2013 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 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.
