Lake McKenzie Fraser Island

Le lever fut dur, mal de crâne pour beaucoup LOL. La matinée a donc été soft. A midi je suis allé a la piscine et début d’après-midi j’ai été visiter l’île. J’ai pris un petit bus avec des roues de camions. Ça a secoué beaucoup car ce ne sont que des routes de sables, qu’on utilise en 4×4. Le paysage à l’inté …

Hi there

Today was day 2 of our 4WD adventure. Up at 6:00a.m., quick breakfast before we hit the road, literally.Today we travelled inland, and I quickly found out why 4WD's is the only way to travel Fraser Island. There are no roads here, no asphalt, concrete or even gravel roads. Nope, all there is, is sand trails. Trails that were …

Karl bought me my ticket over to Fraser Island for my birthday which was a really nice present and I had a lovely birthday. We decided to go on a day trip to Fraser Island instead of an overnight camping trip as it was so much cheaper and we also went on a trip that our friends Jamie and Lisa recommended to us, as it goes to all the places that the …

Danny hielt tatsaechlich sein Versprechen, besorgte aus Gympie eine neue Benzinpumpe, baute eine neue ein und machte damit das Auto wieder fahrtauglich. Am Dienstag morgen um 10 Uhr brachte er es uns vorbei und wir machten uns - nachdem wir in Rainbow Beach noch schnell mal ins Meer und die wirklich heftige Brandung gegangen waren, auf den Weg nach …

Well we were lucky with the weather once again! We left Hervey Bay on a boat headed for Fraser in the rain and by the time we arrived at the island, blue skies were starting to appear!

We went on a guided tour with 'Cool Dingos'. Our tour guide, Les, was just like Steve Irwin with his wild stories and total disregard for dangerous animals …

Heute ging es wieder einmal früh los, wir sind um 04:15 aufgestanden. Nach einem kurzen Frühstück sind wir nach Hervey Bay (River Heads) gefahren von wo wir um 06:45 mit der Fähre nach Fraser Island gefahren sind.

Dort fuhren wir mit einem 4WD Truck quer durch die Insel, ein richtiges Abenteuer. Die ganze Insel besteht nur aus Sand, von …

... and the lake was even more magnificent. I have never seen water as blue and fresh as the water I saw in lake Mckenzie. We jumped in and swam to the Island in the middle , the whole time looking under the water that was as clear as my head at the time. ...

... drive, and takes some getting used to, but by the time we reach the ferry, can reverse in with ease! - 40 minutes across to Fraser Island, switch to 4WD mode, and through the dirt/sand tracks, which are very rough and very rutted - there is no way you ...

... stayed in a 10 bed dorm (Would you believe - our first dorm since we started travelling) All 10 people who were going to Fraser Island stayed together. Ourselves and 6 Germans. We all met up that evening to watch a safety video and sort out food and ...

Hello from Fraser Island, The second must-do for any traveller to Australia is a 3 day, 2 night camping experience on Fraser Island. Fraser Island is the largest sand-spit and island in the world. The island has been left virtually untouched and ...
