Flag Inn Playa Concha Resort Hervey Bay

... through. So you can imagine we were extremely shaken but not stirred when we reached our first destination which was a 45min walk to Lake Wabby. It was a beautiful view if not somewhat of a trek to get to, over sand dunes and forest. When we arrived you just had to take a swim even if you were watching the cat fish circling around you. The lake was once a river so it had a green tinge to it, but still beautiful. <br><br>After an eat ...

... surrounded by them which was great. It was about now that we noticed that a few people had their heads over the side feeding the fish with their breakfasts, it was quite rough but we didn't think it was to bad. After spotting another Turtle and watching the Whales disappearing off in the distnace we sent off back for home. The time had flown by but it was a fantastic experience but like the elephants in Thailand mixed with sadness as peoople go out and ...

... the way for a quick leg stretch as the road was quiet bumpy this morning, at a weird tree. Hidden within the contours of the bark are different animals and human faces, the dragon up in the branches was probably the best but there was also a crocodile and witches face. While we were all crowded around the front one of the older guys (a bloke called Sven who is Adams father its a long story but he's travelling with his daughter for a few weeks and Adam meet them ...

... speed radar. The beach also doubles as an airstrip for light aircraft which offer trips over the Island, what with many fishermen casting their lines in the surf, tourists wandering around taking photos and hundreds of cars racing up and down it is a very busy strip of sand. We stopped at Eli Creek where a beautiful clear stream discharges into the sea. We were supposed to be able to swim here but the guide only gave us about ten minutes which was barely ...

... into the sea this means the salt water is diluted down and so many scholes of fish live off the coast and this attracys hundreads of sharks so i guess im lucky i made it out alive.<br><br>on the first day we did some walking in the rainforest around central station along some crystal clear creeks and by lakes and then spent the afternoon at lake mckensie. in the evening we visited the cool dingos bar. <br>on thurs we drove along the ...

A short drive from 1770 and we arrived in Hervey Bay, a small whale watching town with a few bars and restaurants. It just happens to be the main port of call to reach Fraser Island. We spent a day chilling out by the beach and scoffing fish and chips. We booked a tour to Fraser with a local agent for the following day so we snuck into a campsite for the night.<br><br>A nice early start at 6am to meet the tour bus ...

... Only a baby tiger shark. It was roasting aswell and topped up the tan on the walk.<br><br>Back to the camp site and played drinking games and had another BBQ. <br><br>The final day was great too.We started off at a place which had layers of multi coloured sand, called the pinancles then we went to a ship wreck which has been there since the 1930's. Once we left there went to a creek which has natural water flowing into the sea. Finally we went to Lake ...

... that day :( ), amazing lakes and fantastic beaches. The beach was the motorway on this island so we had to closely stick to the tide times according to where we wanted to go.<br><br>The first night our bedroom was the beach, as we set up our tents(ours having no pegs to keep it down!) we got the barbie on the go in typical aussie style!<br><br>Enjoy the photos as we roamed the island in the 4x4's <br><br>xxx

... walk through the rainforest. As well as being the largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island also has the distinction of being the only place where dense forest is able to grow on the sand. To me it all looked like every other bit of rainforest I&#8217;d seen in Queensland, until we came to a small creek where the water was so clear and the sand below it so golden that had the water not been moving it would have looked invisible. <br><br>After lunch we got off the ...
