Fraser Island - Day 2

We were all up early to get our stuff packed and to check out of our rooms! We were all assigned a 4x4 group the day before (I was in Car 3) and we had to spend a lot of time doing checks and packing everything from coolers, dry boxes, luggage etc. It was a lengthly process.. we were itching to get going!!!

Here's Car 3:
-Michelle
-Francis
-Jennie (Sweet girl from Holland we met.. LOVE her!)
-Kyle (our driver)
-Grant (Kyle's brother visiting from home)
-Flachs (Kyle's room mate)
-Tiny & Mike (Flachs' friends visiting from home)


Oh boy!!! HAHAHA!
So we took off with 3 in the front and the rest of us in the back. It wasn't that bad!

We have to take a ferry to get on and off the island, so we drove onto it and took some sweet pictures.







Once we got on the island, we were on a tag-along tour so our guide, Brad, was in the 1st car and he took us along the beach and to the infamous Lake Wabby. It was so hot and humid that day, and the walk was over 3km so Larry and I were sweating our little bums off! But, once we got there, it was absolutely stunning. This little hidden lake in the middle of a sand island. I wish you could have all been there.

We rolled down the sand hills, swam for hours, drank goon, and the girls skinny dipped together. It was lovely.











After we left Lake Wabby we hopped back in the 4x4's and headed along the beach towards Eli Creek and the famous shipwreck. I loved being the the 4x4. Here's some proof:


These are the boys' bums, FYI.


I loved Goon this week. Barf.


CAR 2


Jennie and I!!!


Dingo just chillin' on the road!


Fran & I love to jump!

We stopped at the famous Maheno shipwreck to take some pictures after Lake Eli. It was really cool!







These are the pinnacles, coloured sand. Absolutely beautiful!!!

After the Maheno, we headed to our campsite. It's owned by Aboriginals and had showers, toilets, everything you need. They were really cool too. They loved to come and talk with us. They took a few of the girls on a Ghost Walk and taught all of us how to play the digereedoo .. or however you spell it.







When we first got back, we all went to the beach. You're not allowed to swim on the beach off of Fraser Island because the currents and rips are extremely dangerous. Also, the amount of sharks in the water is unreal. So, we all just played in the sand. Larry did some fishing from the shore and a couple of us found crabs on the beach.




On the beach! Don't get in the way of the cars!

That night we had s'mores and tons of fun. Up early tomorrow for our trip to Indian Head!! xo
