Well, if it's not a cyclone then it's an oil spill. Things certainly have been tough these past few weeks, but slowly everything is getting back to normal. Fraser Island is fully operational, with all tours departing on their usual days.
Moreton Island is still affected by the oil spill, and despite the fact that some parts of the Island are open, our tours are still suspended until we can access the East Coast and our campsite at Blue Lagoon. National Parks and the EPA are expected to reopen the Island by next Monday the 23rd of March. How the Island and it's natural beauty will be affected over the next few years is hard to say, although to see the pictures of the beautiful Honeymoon Bay coated in a thick black sludge was devastating. Nature is a resilient beast, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Cyclone Watch
Due to Tropical Cyclone Hamish all tours have been suspended until Friday the 13th of March. Wind gusts of over 100k's per hour were reported at Fraser Island, although no major damage to property was reported. The beaches however haven't been so lucky and major erosion has taken place, with lots of sand taken from the dunes.
All tours should be back to normal by Friday. Please call the Sunrover office on 0732034241 for more up to date details.

Alligator Creek, Fraser Island
With all the talk of crocodiles sightings on Fraser Island, maybe this creek should be re-named Crocodile Creek:
