The Minjerribah Recreation Area casts a net over all of Stradbroke Island’s best bits, including all the beaches that allow 4WDing, its camping areas and holiday parks.
Queensland
CONONDALE NP, QLD
Conondale NP is located 130km north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast hinterland and fences off a patch of gorgeous wilderness and challenging 4WD tracks perched amongst the peaks and troughs of the Great Dividing Range.
SUNDOWN NP, QLD
Sundown’s red dusty tracks and sparse vegetation lends a remote feel. You could almost be out on the edge of the outback, miles from anywhere.
Instead, the park sits just above the New South Wales border and is just three hundred clicks southwest of Brisbane’s CBD.
75 MILE BEACH, QLD
75 Mile Beach is located on Fraser Island’s east coast and, apart from the practically endless sand driving, you’ll be able to stop off at some of Fraser’s most famous landmarks, including the Maheno shipwreck, the Champagne Pools and Indian Head.
CONDAMINE GORGE, QLD
The Condamine Gorge Road is renowned for crossing the Condamine River 14 times, offering visitors the opportunity to practice and fine tune their water crossing technique under fairly tame conditions.
DUSTY DREAMS
Carlisle’s western wanderings draw him into the deep Queensland outback. He finds that the best way to get to know a place is to visit its pub and talk to the locals.
Nailed it: 77 pinky off the cliffs at @dirkhartogisland

First day on Dirk Hartog Island.
1. 67cm baldie off the cliff at Quoin Head.
2. Surfing buddies.
3. Sunset on Mars.
Having fun exploring the island but the weather here is fickle and the ocean is unforgiving!

Been testing out the @zoleolifeaus this year with excellent results.
Just back from the Kimberley and this little thing was very handy. Texts and emails worked whether I was in the car or on a hike, effortlessly, with the app on my iPhone.
Battery life was impressive: charged it once in two weeks.
Waterproof, super-durable and great peace of mind for me and all of our @outbacktagalongs customers.
I used the extra Location Share+ feature, so it dropped a breadcrumb trail of my latest location every hour to family back home.
It's a great piece of kit and has replaced my old satphone for most trips.
