Fraser Island

Our Fraser Island Adventures started today. We booked a 2 day tour on Fraser Island. Fraser Island is the world’s biggest sand island. When you say it like that it sounds like it is going to be a giant sand dune which it is but it is also covered in vegetation and fresh water lakes. 200 people also live on the island. We hopped on a ferry and met up with our group on the island. The group consisted of British, Italians, Germans and a couple from Netherlands. It was a fun group and we bonded as the tour progressed. Our guide was also an interesting fellow. He had lived on the island for over 20 years and was a professional photographer and ecologist so he had so much Island knowledge. He had been featured it National Geographic and has done talks across Europe. To add to that he was also hilarious and made the trip really entertaining. All the tracks through the island are deep sand tracks so you needed a 4wd to get around. Our first stop on the tour lake a McKenzie, a beautiful turquoise blue fresh water lake. The sand is so old around this lake it has a pristine white colour. We had a nice long break for swimming and sun followed by lunch. In the afternoon we went for 2 short hikes and visited another lake. To finish off the day we headed to the beach for a beautiful sunset. The evening was filled with dinner, drinks and it also happened to be trivia night, our favourite!Read more
