Review of Palace Backpackers Hervey Bay ...

The palace hostel is nice for ONE night. The Frase...

The palace hostel is nice for ONE night. The Fraser island tour is expensive when you compare it to the accommodation and food. Because there is always to less food and the menu is every day the same! Take also your pillow from the hostel with you, because at Fraser there is none. You will sleep on the ground, after ONE night you will definitely have a back injury.

About the food; when the tour has been finished you will lose 4 kilograms, because you're living the whole day on ONE crob salad (with sand in it). When you're at Hervey Bay again you must visit a dentist, because of the sand.

Liquor; this is also a huge problem on Fraser, its very expensive and you can't get pissed of it.

Driving the 4x4; the cars are from the 40's, no cruise control, no chair heaters, no airconditioning (well it was there but not working). Also the speed limit is every where 15 km/h.

Conclusion: don't book this tour you will regret it.
