We arrived in Hervey Bay on 29/01/08 ready to hit Fraser Island the following day.So we got up early and met everyone we would off roading with...the team consisted of us 3 lads, 2 german brothers an a dutch girl, we also had another jeep travelling with us...a load of young english boys and girls some who we had already met along our travels!
We took the ferry over to Fraser and i began the driving...was alot of fun bouncing aeround the tracks with everyone in the back hitting their heads on the roof...very amusing if you were in the front!
We made to our way to Lake Mcenzie which was amzing. A perfectly clear fesh water lake in the middle of this island made from sand out at sea! Deytrikh and hubbs swam across to the other side which was about 500m whislt the other guys remained wallowing in the shallows.
We then made our way to the first campsite out on the beach, as per usual we had some beers and wine and settled into a classic Australian BBQ whislt dingos patrolled the borders and ran off with one of Barry's vests!

Day 2 Fraser Island - today we drove the whole way up the 70km beach past the ship wreck and Eli Creek ( a fresh water creek), up past Indian head which had some amazing views overlooking the ocean and miles of sand. We stopped off at Champagne pools for lunch which are named after the waves hitting the rocks causing bubbles to flow into these larges rock pools...was good fun as the waves got bigger!
During our final day on Fraser we went to Lake Wabbi which is surrounded my steep sand dunes which provided us with a one on one rolly polly contest down into the lake!That pretty much sums up our time on Fraser Island...was so much fun boosting down the beach in 4x4's, protected our stuff from dingos and bouncing around the inland tracks!
Bring on Noosa!!!
