Hi Ryan,
Fabulous spot - We know the very top of Fraser Island very well because until recently Jennie and I used to do a one month stint each year as volunteer lighthouse keepers at Sandy Cape. The sands towards the top of the island can be **really** treacherous, especially rounding the cape itself. We've pulled vehicles out with our trusty troop carrier, or sent people back south for their own safety!! Most newbies don't let their tyres down anything like enough or simply misjudge the tide. You were lucky to get yourself out - I'd be interested to know how you did it alone - maxtracks?, sandbags?, hilift jack?
