Fraser island is a sand/tropical and totally undeveloped island. Clambering aboard an antique Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 we intrepidly heade out... and what an Island!!! FOr once my driving wasnt the most probable cause of death as the the box jellyfish, randy tiger sharks, and the usual cast of crocs, snakes, scorps and sids. And lets nto forget dingoes... (wild pack dogs). Apparently if sighted on a night time "shovel trip (toilet)" one should throw away the shovel, cross your arms across your chest, scream "DINGO" and back clowly away... Armed with a shovel vs a pack of wild dogs that cannt distinguish between my legs and Pedigree Meatstix I have concluded that that is a monumentally stupid thing to attempt. My Version:
1) See Dingo
2) Hit Dingo
3) With Spade

Sod endagered species, id be pretty endangered if they ate me.

Driving on the Island is fun. Proper 4x4ing. Got stuck a few times and certianly alot of fish tailing. IVe never had so many obstacles to watch out for! Streams, deep sand, waves, otehr prat drivers, adn of course planes (beach=road=runway). Kinda sat on a bollock on a particularly large bump which was unpleasant.
