4WD & RECOVERY
EQUIPMENT
To drive on K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), you will need a 4-Wheel Drive vehicle in good condition. Most roads on K’gari are sand tracks which are rough and remote. It can be very costly to repair or retrieve your vehicle.
Carry a snatch strap in your car, in case you get bogged or to help another bogged vehicle. You might need to pull them out to continue on your way.

Snatch strap (tow rope)
D shackle
Spade

Water & packaged food to keep in the car (e.g muesli bars, canned tuna)
