Fraser Island - Day 3

Good Morning!!! Up early today for our trek to Indian Head! We packed our lunches (pb&j and fruit for Francis and I) and hopped back into our stinky 4x4 hahaha! A bunch of sweaty boys and sand and saltwater doesn't mix well!!!

Indian Head is known to the Aborigines as "Tuckee" (stone). It's distinctive shape of the rocky cliffs makes it one of Fraser Island's most notable landmarks. How about that! It was stunning up there.. although, muddy to walk up to! hahaha

We saw a family of whales (2 adults and a baby) sharks, manta rays and sea turtles! The rain didn't stop us from loving all of it!


Rainy on Indian Head!



Whale Family! So gorgeous!


Gorgeous rocks and scenery!


Sad Lysh


You can't see that well, but the sharks are down there!



Lovely ladies enjoying the rain.. hahaha!


On our way to the Champagne Pools.. just North of Indian Head: Fran using my Drinking-Goon-in-4x4-Method


RIP OFF TIM TAMS! SO GOOD


CAR 3 REPRESENT


My lovely Kare Bear!



The stunning pools!


I love this girl so much..


..because she likes to jump too!!


Beautiful

After the champagne pools, we drove South for a while. I think we drove a lot longer than we thought. But, I had a great group of people in my car and time went by way too fast. We had good tunes, good laughs and good drinks!!


We arrived at Waddy Point after Brad told us there was a great lookout here!


.. sadly, the walk to the "lookout" was terrifying.. loaded with run-over frogs and weird puddles.. I wasn't impressed


But I love this picture we got of the girls and I!!! Myself, Robyn, Kara, Lysh and Francis.. who seems to be doing a strange squat face!! hahaha


When we got back to the cars, the boys pulled this prank on Francis. I couldn't help but laugh!!!

On this trip, we spent a great deal of time travelling in the 4x4's. We covered most of the island which is pretty impressive.. I loved how we saw everything we wanted to see!!! You can't travel the West side of the island for some reason.. I don't think that side is drive-able. Anyway, the East side is stunning.. so I can't complain!

It was our last night staying on the island and we had a great time at camp. Brad said a huge storm was coming that night and we could sleep under the bbq area if we wanted.. so we set up our tents under it and did it rain? No. hahaha Apparently though, the storm hit Surfers Paradise!! Crazy!

This was the night a saw a dingo in camp!

I went to bed early, even though neither Francis or I brought a pillow, and somehow fell asleep. I love Fraser :)
