I had the best 3 days on Fraser Island, even if we were completely off grid which turned out to be very refreshing and relaxing!
Day 1 was a 5am start to get to the jeeps and we headed off to get to the barge to ferry over to the island. We drove along the beach for a while which was so cool before heading inland on the tracks to lake Mackenzie, this was absolutely beautiful!! Then we had some wraps for lunch and went on a walk round a park before heading back to the camp for the first time! We had a bbq dinner which was lovely but not as good as Uncle Pauls bbqs! After that we took a walk to the sand dunes to watch the sunset which was absolutely beautiful. We had to take dingo sticks with us incase we came across any too! Then we headed back to watch the stars from the beach which was a complete pinch me moment. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! Headed off to bed before a very early start to watch the sunrise (in our pjs!) the next morning which again was gorgeous. We sat in the trucks though for a bit as it was quite chilly and got some pics! Then we headed off to the champagne pools for a dip, the water was very bubbly and warm although the walk to it was very treacherous over all the rocks. We then sunbathed for a bit before getting back in the trucks to head back inland to camp for a chicken schnitzel lunch and then to the tea tree lakes, these were meant to be great for your skin and hair but I personally couldn’t see a difference! We played some games with the ball in the lake and then did some more sunbathing. Back in the trucks again and we headed back to make stir fry for dinner before more star gazing, sitting by the fire listening to music and then we headed to the rave cave!! The other camp were stealing our drinks though which was a pain but swiftly dealt with by Cory who in his words will fight or defend us against anything or anyone! He stayed true to that! Carried on drinking before heading back for an early night for another early start, 6 am which did feel like a lie in though! Then we made pancakes and toast for breakfast and drove for the last time to Eli Creek to go down the lazy river in rings which was lovely. We went round a good 4 or 5 times! We then did a bit more sunbathing, came back to camp to collect our things and made the journey back to the barge to get the boat home. We stopped in a petrol station in a small village on the island called happy valley and managed to get wifi to break our 3 days off grid streak! We then took some pictures sitting on the trucks and with Cory who was the best tour guide ever, fuck off dingo!! We then got back to the mainland and headed for a fish and chip dinner, definitely not the same as home but it filled us up nevertheless! I packed up my stuff and got a very early night as we were all absolutely shattered!
Overall had the most incredible 3 days of my life and Cory really made it! 🫶🏻Lue lisää
