Really sorry to hear you lost all the footage but at least you've got the memories. A good reminder to lock your car no matter what.

We lived Down Under for almost 6 years and we also had a Prado Soccer Mum car, an older version but with a bit of a lift and some 33’s that car never once let us down or got stuck and we got a couple of laps of Australia in the process. As for Fraser (as it was to us back then) we loved it as a family beyond measure, we used to drive up from Sydney at least half a dozen times a year with the excuse we were visiting family but in reality we just wanted to be back in Fraser. Loving this

Thanks for the clean up message(s). I've been around long enough to see many great places closed off or restricted because of the mess left by a small percentage of ignorant off roaders. Unfortunately there's also a few people around who take what's not theirs. Pleased to hear that you're not letting it stop your trip. Great episode. Thanks.

Hi mate, It's still blows me away that people have to be told to take their rubbish out with them - makes my blood boil when I come across other peoples garbage. Hopefully it'll get through people's heads soon! Thank you so much for watching! Cheers, Mitch

I was put off going to Fraser because both the infamous inskip and nagla but as it turns out - it was nothing - air down to correct pressure, keep momentum up but not rev up like crazy- a spinning wheel is not going to give you forward momentum- I actually use low 2nd and 3rd doing about 30 - nice and steady and you wonder what all the fuss is all about!

Great start to your adventure. Pity about the break-in - utter scumbags. But I believe in karma and they'll get their just deserts. And just like you, I'm continually bamboozled why people continue to leave their rubbish behind. One campsite I recently went on had bins provided by the State Forest which was no more than 30m from bottles and cans left on the firepit. I'm still bewildered why some people still don't get it. Leave it better than you found it peeps. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

Out of interest, did you have the driver seat in the Prado modified. I’m 6ft 5 and I’ve been testing Prado 120s and the leg room is woeful. Did you extend the rails or happy the way it was?

Nothing worse than getting your belongings stolen. Always lock your car no matter what. They really don’t care if they are caught because they know they won’t be punished.

Eliza Fraser*** It was known as 'K'gari' for thousands of years by the Butchulla people before Europeans called it 'Great Sandy Island'... It then changed to Fraser Island in the 1830s. Cheers, Mitch

@batmanlives6456 Fraser*. She lied to colonists about her treatment on the island and within a decade the population of the Butchulla were murdered and the kick in the teeth is they then named the island after her. Knowledge is power. Some things need to progress so history doesn't repeat itself.
