ONE LAST SCOOP
Help prevent the introduction of weeds and pests
by cleaning vehicle tyres, tent pegs and ground
mats before arriving on the island (there is a car
wash on Boat Harbour Drive opposite Bunnings
in Hervey Bay). To reduce damage to your 4WD
from sand and saltwater, make the car wash your
first stop when leaving the island.
• A suitable fuel stove.
• Milled timber offcuts for a campfire in the
designated fire pits at the Dundubara and
Waddy Point campgrounds only.
