FRASER ISLAND PERMITS
Vehicle entry permit
$30.80 ( valid for 28 days )
The Permit must be fixed to your windscreen prior to entry.

 

The barge landing site aren't always well marked and you may be departing from a different spot you arrived in so make sure you have enough time to find your way.  If you miss your barge you might not get space on any of the others that day, or if you miss the last run, you'll end up waiting until the next day.
