Fraser Island - Day 2

Second day, time for some adventure. After a short delay, we head off and drive along the beach to our next location. Suddenly we stop by some small air planes and we are offered the opportunity to do a scenic flight over the island. Of course, I can't say no to such a good experience. We see some whales and dolphins as we fly over and also get to enjoy the beauty of the Island from the sky. Butterfly lake, the sandblows, Eli Creek, and so much more. The Island seems to stretch out for ever (120 km long, about 25 km wide).
After landing safely back on the beach, we head off to our next destination, Eli Creek.
We have a walk through the creek (it is a bit shallow and a bit cold to swim) and enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding it. Next stop is the SS Maheno ship wreck. Leftovers from a an ocean liner that washed ashore in 1935.
We keep driving along the beach until we reach the champagne pools. Small rock pools on the shore which have waves crashing into them (when it's not low tide like it was when we were there). After a nice swim we headed towards Indian head. A rock formation that forms the most western point of the island.
After enjoying the spectacular views, we head back towards the camp, but have a short stop at the Pinnacles. These are multicoloured sand formations close to the shore of the island.
After that last stop, we head back to the campsite. We are greeted by some dingo's on the beach which start running along with our cars before we arrive back at the campsite.Leer más
