If you do the great ocean road in summer (Dec-March) just a heads up that the mozzies and flying bugs in general are ridiculous. 🦟

Fraser you can rent a 4wd (like that sweet 110 I had) from several places in Hervey Bay and then ferry over (they also rented all the camping and cooking gear you'd need) -> https://www.discoverherveybay.com/fraser-magic-4wd-hire/
Thanks for the heads up on the mozzies and flying bugs. We are looking at going June/July. The rivers in the Kimberleys will not be high and we will able to ford them. Especially the ford on the Gibbs River- Wyndham Road, Gibbs River - Kalumburu Road and on the way in to Purnululu NP
( Bungle Bungles). The Tanami Track won't be wet and closed to traffic.

Thanks for the 4WD Rental tip. When did you rent it? We have initially been in contact with Britz. They have a Safari Land Cruiser fully kitted for camping, unfortunately no 110's. I doubt there are many 110's for rent anymore.
We rented a 110 from Britz for our self drive in Namibia in 2009

Was happy with Britz rental when we did the East Coast / Fraser Island, had a Landcruiser Troop Carrier. Transmission blew up on Fraser Island, so they towed us to Rainbow Beach for the night, put us up in a hotel and had a new vehicle for us the next day.

Driving the East Coast was an amazing amount of fun. Can't wait to go back.

Nothing like a little holiday adventure!!

I've done it with Fraser magic twice actually, both times rented a 110. Once with a friend in 2004 then again on my honeymoon in 2007 (so yes its been a while)
