Hervey and Fraser
... a grizzled look of “hard-core bush-man” about him. No doubt another Steve Irwin type. He also appeared to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. We were bundled aboard the huge bus thing – a MAN make of vehicle with wheels just about up to my armpits. I think that means it is made in Australia and NZ? There was loads of space – the bus could seat about 40 people. Shane revved the engine and we bumped and bounced our way along the sandy track. All the roads ...
Fraser Island
... regnskóginum þar sem við löbbuðum lítinn hring og fengum okkur hádegismat. Annað stopp var við vatn sem kallast Lake McKenzie sem er eins konar lón fullt af kristaltæru vatni (drykkjarhæfu). Þar syntum við dágóða stund og lékum okkur í frisbí. Sólin hvarf aðeins fyrir ský á meðan við vorum þarna en þetta var samt yyyndislegur staður.

The ferry was waiting for us when we got there, and then it took 10 mins for the ferry to get out of the mud at low tide before we were finally on our way back! It was a great trip though, wish we had more time to stay on for longer as didn't see all of ...
Off to Fraser Island!
... lunch and dinner! Though we had a full meal in Brisbane, the buffet meals were music to our ears. We stuffed ourselves silly. What was super hilarious was the people in our hostel at Hervey Bay mentioned bring 'Goon' to the island. Goon is basically boxed wine - I don't think we'd ever be drinking that stuff again after university... but there we are taking Goon onto our trip and NO ONE did. Our trip was a completely different kind of trip with a ...
