Australien 2016-17

When you have to leave the house at 6am it should better be worth it.
I can give you a little preview it definitely was. 💕
We left the house at 6am and made our way to the Brisbane Transit Centre where we got picked up at 7am to go on a two day Fraser Island tour.
Our "bus" was a bit funny looking but we got to understand why later that day. But first we had to get to Fraser Island.
From Brisbane it took us about 4h until we reached Rainbow Beach where we made a short break at the beach.
We then actually drove on the beach with our bus to get to the ferry which was waiting for us at the shore. Probably 10 minutes later our bus left the ferry again and we were on Fraser.
It now became quite clear why our bus wasn't a normal bus. There are no roads on Fraser Island you either drive on the beach or in the rainforest.
It can be a hell of a bumpy ride especially through the rainforest and you will definitely be glad for your seatbelt since it feels a lot like a roller coaster ride.
Good thing nobody got sick and we actually had a lot of fun driving around. Our tour guide and driver told us some facts about Fraser and he had a really good taste in music, too so it definitely was never boring (and thanks for the photos Rhett). 💕
Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and the aboriginal people call this island K'gari which means paradise 💕. I can definitely see their point this island is just pure perfection💕.
Fraser is surrounded by the ocean (salty water) but there is fresh water constantly coming from under the island up to the surface.
This means that there are various streams, creeks and seas on the island. All of them filled with crystal clear fresh water because the water is filtered through all the layers of sand before it reaches the surface of Fraser.
Our first stop was at Eli Creek which is one of those crystal clear creeks. We went for a swim before driving to the Maheno ship wreck.
The ship was once 120m long but it keeps sinking into the sand so you can only see the top of it today.
Our last stop of the day was Indian Head which is basically a cliff from which you can get the best view of the whole island. 💕
But it was not only the whole island we got to see from up there, we also spotted humpback whales, dolphins, eagle rays, a turtle and some really big tuna.
It was such an amazing experience there are basically no words to describe it and even though the photos are beautiful they are nothing compared to what it looks in real life.
On our way to the resort we were staying that night we also saw on of the many dingoes who live on Fraser Island.
After we had dinner in our resort Rhett (our tour guide) took us to the beach to show us the stars and a special surprise in the sand. I have never seen so many stars at once. We could even see the Milky Way and two other galaxies 💕.
The surprise in the sand was equally beautiful. Every time you walked over the sand right at the shore the sand would light up in a green-blueish light. The phenomenon is called bioluminescents and is coursed by tiny bacteria living in the sand. It was just stunning 💕.Okumaya devam et
