Please keep making videos like this. So refreshing to watch videos with detailed information on the destination or activity. Love to be educated!! Cheers!! Love the 4wding tips too. Great video!!
Captain Cook did call double island for that exact reason,when approaching Di in a boat from the South about 2/4 miles off coast halfway between Noosahead and Di
I learned the hard way about traction control, got bogged during high tide at bribie. Dad told me not to drive at high tide, i was freaking out when I got bogged and thought this is what I deserve. Fortunately I managed to get out. Wouldn’t have got bigger though if I new what reaction control even was.
Correct regarding toilets. Have seen rangers ask campers to leave if they do not have one set up. Dump points at Freshwater 👍 Heaps of foxes at night, you can seen footprints in the sand each morning. I have seen a dingo as well.
almost stood on 2 red belly black snakes walking through the camp area and dune entrance at night last weekend. You can spot them pretty easily even at night. Definitely wasn't a stick and was worth turning my light on to look.
I was up there on the weekend just gone and it was amazing. Only been a couple of times. Looked like the rainbow end might be unable to be driven as the water looked very high even though it was low tide.
Awesome video TJ it's actually just what i needed considering I've just moved up to QLD and wanted to get stuck into exploring the islands 🙌 always keen to tag along if you guys are heading out again soon 😊
Great video TJ. Just picked up a foreword fold camper trailer and I’m looking to explore our wonderful state. This is definitely a place I’ll visit! Cheers!!
Make sure you buy the correct permit too. I bought one for Kgari, and thought that it also covered cooloolah, but it does not, and the fine print says loser pay anyway despite writing a letter of explanation. Nah no good. Gimee $207 thanks. When I die I want my ashes scattered here. Love this place and go here often from Brisbane. ❤❤❤
they were specific about the toilets too, right? Like you can't get the ol' plastic bag mini-long drops. It has to be fully enclosed and you have to take the waste back to a caravan/dump point.
Freshwater camping area has toilets and $2 coin operated hot showers. It’s a really well setup area with quite secluded tent and trailer sites. Just remember to have a stash of $2 coins for the showers.

There is the iceman (food truck service) that runs up and down the beach for water/drinks, ice, some food to 🤙🏼
Awesome overview. Really enjoy these as someone planning to lap Australia in the future. Thanks TJ!
There's also sometimes a ute that drives around selling ice and basic supplies. Thanks for the vid TJ!

Que hermoso el pais donde vives,muy lindo video,que encanta mirar la herosura que Dios creo,saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷👍🍻
Great video mate
Where’s the Fraser and Morton Island videos? Couldn’t find in description
love abit of Tj
Nice one mate . Are normal tyres fine? Or have to have tyres for sand? My car is a 4wd Isuzu
Hey mate, how did you go with normal tyres? Thinking the same
Is the vehicle permit separate to parks pass?
You mentioned disconnect traction control in my patrol 48 I disconnect ABS because how dangerous i find it off road
If you disconnect abs in these modern cars you won’t be able to select 4wd
I recently got hilux, i havent got budget to change tyres into A/T. Is it ok to drive with original highway tyres? Beginner here.
yep will be fine, just let them down for the sand :)
The DI secret spot is well and truly out of the bag. 😅
No phone service by any and all providers?
Have seen foxes and wild doggs up there
rangers are actively fining people camping without toilets FYI
Hi
Can you fish?
yep !
👍🏻
You forgot the most common thing to do. Cutting hoops bouncing off the limiter😜
What about all the red p platers that do burnouts all night, they are dangerous animals
😂 forgot about those scallywags
dont tell everyone its already busy enough 🤦♂️
definitely getting busy , think the secrets out already haha
Place is hammered. Well overused!
First???
yeah maybe you got it haha
Used to be able to bring dogs... until the police state kicked in
Great video, tks for all the infos 👍🏼
