Fraser Island

Fresh off of the Lamington excursion, Steve, Amanda K., Claire, Kerry, Sarah H., and I headed up north to Fraser Island... the largest sand island in the world! After a long and arduous bus trip up the coast to Hervey Bay, my boy Bret picked us up in our rented 1996 Land Rover Defender, which later became known as The Butterfly Slayer! After renting some camping gear and loading the 4wd with a ton of gear, we caught a ferry over to the island to get the show started. These limited photos definetly don't do the outing justice.

An action photo of beach camping on the first night.
A scenic photo of Lake Wabby. Now that's one quite a beach. They say that in about 10 years the dune is going to completely overtake the beautiful lake.


The Pinnacle Pools. Suposedly, its the only safe place to swim in the Pacific at Fraser. The pools offer protection from the Great White Sharks!



Heaps of turtles swimming in one of the perched lakes.


The cool Boomerang Lakes.


And finally the famous Lake McKenzie. Water doesn't get any bluer, and sand doesn't get any whiter!

After 3 nights of hardore camping and 4-wheeling, the crew headed back to Brisbane unscaved to do some school work.



Peace! -Dan
