Frazer Island

We spent a week in Frazer Island and were not prepared to encounter such a wild and remote place...
- many Dingoes, we saw at least 6-7
- no sealed road, only bumpy sandy tracks
- bugs and flies everywhere
- swimming is prohibited on the east side as it is shark infested
- many bush fires, some camping grounds had to be evacuated.
- only two places to get water, food and pretrol (costing twice as much as on the main land)
- a lot of algaes on the coast at this time of the year making it harder to fish (Lara still caught two brims)

It's a 4x4 only island where it's faster to travel on the beach at low tide than on the inland tracks.

The national sport on the island is to find a spot where the sand is really soft, drink beers and watch cars as they get stuck in the sand. Obviously our delica got bogged a few times but we are now better at getting her out. And overall she handled it pretty well even thought she needs to get lifted up as we did not have enough ground clearance to go all the way up to the sandy cape.

We spent 2 nights on the west side which was sheltered from the wind and waves of the Pacific Ocean. The water was crystal clear and the sand white as snow (eh oh).Weiterlesen
