Fraser Island dag 1
Werd weer vroeg om 7:45 opgehaald voor twee dagen Fraser Island. Fraser Island is zo bekend omdat het voor 98% procent uit zand bestaat en 2% uit rotsen. Het is vooral een grote speelterrein voor 4WD auto's langs de 75 Mile Beach. Als eerste gingen we ...
Fraser Island dag 2
S'ochtends naar Lake McKenzie gegaan. De meest beroemde meer hier in Fraser Island. We bleven hier twee uurtjes ontspannen. Heb heerlijk gezwommen hier. Dit is werkelijk het schoonste water in het natuur waarin ik heb gezwommen tot zover. Echt 'crystal ...
4x4 fun in the sun..and a bit of rain
There was a group of 10 doing our Fraser Island tour, and what a group! As only the boys wanted to drive it meant that we had virtually a full day each. The tours have changed so now you have to follow a guide around the island because there was too much ...
Wild Dingoes!

Lets Off Road!
This is a top pick! After a fantastic trip of Whitsundays it was full steam ahead on my own to Hervey Bay to explore Fraser Island (Olivia has gone forth on her own elswhere as she has done Fraser before). Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island and the only place ...
Frasier Island!

Island Paradise
The next morning we set out for Fraser Island which if you didn't know, is an island made entirely from sand (around 120km long in fact). Quite impressive, especially given that the island sustains a couple of villages and a rainforest! As soon we were ...

G'day from the outback : )
Fraser Island was beautiful... particularly the rainforests and the huge sand dunes. We got up one morning at 4:30 to watch the sunrise off of Indian Head point - this big coral cliff. It was pretty cool because before the sun came overhead and made a ...

Fraser Island
... Certainly nicer than the confines of the Mandrake. Buffet breakfasts and dinners were also appreciated. All in all, I enjoyed Fraser Island more than the Whitsundays. It also helped that there were a couple other Canadians on the ...
Waking up with sand between my teeth
... , question de laisser à tout le monde le temps de faire ce qu'il a à faire, on part, et on se rend au shipwreck de Fraser island. Il y a des photos sur facebook, j'ai pas vraiment retenu l'histoire du bateau, mais en gros, c'est un bateau qui à été ...
Sand everywhere
Oh dear. Its was my considered opinion that possibly I'd made a massive faux pas. Fraser Island is accessible from both Hervey Bay and Rainbow Beach. The vast majority of peoples i had met (oddly enough, in Hervey Bay) could not fathom exactly why I ...
