A group of Aussie campers were left with a staggering bill after their 4WD became swamped on a popular holiday island.
The holidaymakers were camping at K'gari, a tourist hotspot in Queensland that was formerly known as Fraser Island, when disaster suddenly struck.
They were heading to Coongal Creek on the western side of the island and had difficulty navigating the terrain when they became bogged down.
The tide quickly rose and completely submerged the Jeep and trailer - which is estimated to be worth an eye-watering $54,000.
Social media users were divided with some claiming the campers made the mistake of trying to traverse the difficult terrain during high tide.
