5. Watch out for obstacles: Keep an eye out for obstacles such as rocks, trees, and deep ruts in the sand. Slow down and maneuver around them carefully.
6. Be aware of tide times: The tide can affect driving conditions on the beach. Check the tide times before heading out and avoid driving on the beach at high tide.
7. Respect the environment: K’gari (Fraser Island) is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has a fragile ecosystem. Respect the environment by sticking to designated tracks, avoiding the dunes, and taking your rubbish with you when you leave.
