Maheno Wreck Fraser Island

So last week Molly and I did a 3 day safari on Fraser Island with about 30 other people but specifically 7 other people in our car :) We had 3 Swedes, 2 German-Italians, 1 German and an Irishman. This therefore means everyone had to speak English the entire time and if the Swedes ever started talking Swedish you just interrupt them with "suga min …

Fraser Island, with its Great Sandy National Park should be an excellent holiday destination for me, an arenophile of some years standing.
Getting here takes the better part of a day from Sydney, at least the way we did: flying to Maroochydore airport, hiring a car and driving to River Heads and then taking the ferry over to the Kingfisher …

Got up at 5:00 a.m today, made our way to the transit station for our 4WD tour of Fraser Island. Fraser Island is the largest sand Island in the world. There are only three sand Islands in the world, and they are all in Australia.

It is a two and a half hour drive to the Island, we took a barge to get on the Island and then the fun begins …

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 …

Again I have had two visits to Hevey Bay. On both occasions though I have seen and done different things. The first time I was now with Alison and Kerry, we stayed at a backpackers and we were booked to do a 4WD on Frazer Island, that was excellent, we had to drive our own toyota land cruizer, so first we had a meeting, we teamed up with 3 other …

Fraser Island - eine Insel nur aus Sand so gross, dass man 2 Tage braucht um die schoensten Orte zu sehen. Die Autobahn ist der Strand, auf dem manchmal Zone 30 ist und die Dingos (wilde Hunde) immer Vorfahrt haben. Leider hatte unser Van keinen 4Radantrieb also waren wir mit einer Gruppentour unterwegs. Wellen so gross wie Melinda, der Sand so …

3 days. Remote island. 14 litres of boxed wine, 60 beers and a bottle of tequila. Sound like a good idea? Add deadly snakes and spiders, shark-infested waters and wild dogs. Then add tents. We arrived in sleepy Rainbow Beach on Monday to discover a seaside getaway village, filled with families and OAPs trying to have a quiet holiday. Unfortunately …

... 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 ...

... stops would be places and involve activities I'd actually thought about, rather than following the rest of the herd!!! So, Fraser Island.... the world's largest sand island, off the coast of Queensland, and unfortunately a tiger shark breeding ground ...

... nbsp;is great! After quite a long walk up the beach we went to the supermarket to get our food for the following three days on Fraser Island. By the time we got back to our hostel it was dark. The sun seems to set really early here (5:30ish)! The ...

We hastily packed our day packs for our three day adventure on Fraser Island whilst eating a breakfast of chilled rock melon. It was rather a rush to check out, store our luggage and get a taxi booked and we were beginning to think we should have made ...

Hello, Well, we got back from Fraser island yesterday. I know lots of people say "Oh yeah, it was brilliant" but it really was. It's the world's biggest sand island and it literally is just loads of loads of sand, with some beautiful fresh water ...

... us an early time to make sure we actually did something on the island... Other bits I've not mentioned about the island that deserve something are the Maheno wreck, Eli Creek and the sea. On the island, you can only swim in the lakes (unless you want ...

... the sands of Fraser Island. These oxides are also responsible for the clay-like bonding effect. The Maheno, a once luxury cruise ship, the most famous of Fraser Island's ship wrecks, was driven ashore north of Eli Creek in 1935. The trans-Tasman liner ...

Starting in Rainbow Beach, we joined a self guided 4x4 driving tour of Fraser Island. After meeting out group, packing up our 4x4 and plugging in an ipod, we set off for out three day adventure. There were eight of us in our car, but 50 in the whole ...

... å plukke opp bilen som vi har leid for to dager. Nå var det bare å komme seg avgårde for å rehvkke fergen over til Fraser Island. Fergeturen tok 35 minutter før vi var fremme på den idylliske øya. Første stopp på øya var Lake Mckenzie, en ...

... padding! Gratefully we finally arrived in Brisbane to the comfort of Cat and Simon's house and some more R and R!   Though Fraser Island is beautiful, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. I guess the geriatric sardine tour didn't help and ...
