The ferry makes a few other stops on the way to Curtis Island.
Once on the island, you are free to explore the( mostly) easily negotiated tracks, other than the restricted mining areas. Yes, you’ ll need a 4WD, but most tracks are gravel and easily traversed, with sandy sections that vary with the weather. Beach driving is restricted to high tide, so timing must be carefully managed. As always, with any offroad adventure, you should be selfsufficient in negotiating all types of 4WD tracks, and your selfretrieval skills should be ready to be deployed at all times.
Offroad caravans and 4WD campervans can easily navigate most of the island, though some vans may need to dodge a few low-hanging branches.
Washed up, but this wasn ' t edible, unfortunately.
ISLAND EXPERIENCES
Don ' t go to Curtis expecting an epic 4WD adventure, filled with winching, bogging, and mechanical mayhem. Nope, this island offers sedate, easy-to-mild 4WD driving conditions, complete with spectacular coastal scenery and breathtaking vistas – a perfect escape from your day-today living, with little worries of being stuck for days on end.
