Fraser Island

Lake McKenzie

Slightly windswept, but clearly very happy!

Maheno ship wreck

75 mile beach

Yet another stop in the backpacker's itinerary is Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island! We went on another trip, which involved a 30 minute trip on a barge, and then we went by 4x4 tour bus around all the best bits on the island. Even the beach here is a highway, and we were hitting 110kmph! We saw a ship wreck on the beach and walked through lots of rainforest, and then went to the famous Lake McKenzie. Again it had the purest white sand ever and was absolutely beautiful! We were told the sand there was the best exfoliant in the world so Nic and I decided to put that to good use and renew our tired feet by rolling round in the sand!

woweeeeeee you really have seen the sights, above and below the waterline - scary scary sharks. - as for me the Moray eel is the worst, it looks so ugly. You are very brave.
Still you won;t have to be brave when you get back, - not many sharks in our garden water feature - though I did see a newt running towards it the other day.
