ELIZA ONE :: How to get to
'Eliza One'.
Fraser Island is 3.5 hours north of Brisbane by car, and 4.5 hours from
the Gold Coast.
Fraser Island and Eliza One - is only accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicle,
or by air.
There are barge services (we recommend Mantaray Barge Services, locally
owned and operated from Rainbow Beach), from Hervey Bay, and Rainbow Beach
to Moon Point and Inskip Point. [Click
here] for barge details.
Once arriving on Fraser Island, it is a 1.5 hour drive to Eliza One, Orchid
Beach. The Island's only roads are inland sand tracks and the eastern
beach. The eastern beach from Hook Point to Sandy Cape is the main highway
for the island and driveable only on the hard sand below the high-tide
line.

Always travel on the beach as close as possible to low tide, and not more
than 3 hours either side of low tide. The western beach is almost totally
undriveable because of the terrain such as mangroves, cliffs and creeks.
We recommend your tyres are depressurised to between 18 – 25 psi
depending on conditions, and recommend you buy a detailed map of Fraser
Island. Police patrol the island and normal road rules apply, with a speed
limit of 80kph on the beach.
