Inside tip · Hervey Bay & K'gari
Taking your own 4WD to K'gari? What must you buy first?
Answer: Vehicle access permit
Buy a vehicle access permit before you go; number plate cameras operate and you can be fined without one.
Only high-clearance 4WDs with low range suit K'gari's sand tracks. Barges run from Inskip Point (about 10 minutes, no booking) and River Heads (30–50 minutes, bookings required). No 4WD? Tours leave from Hervey Bay.
