Fraser Island April 9 - 12

After leaving Airlie beach and tons of good times out with friends and people I met, I decided to get on the move again, I stopped in a really cool town called 1770, it was really slow but still loads of fun because it was such a laid back town, I did a bike ride around the town with some people and saw a really nice sunset, definately do the scooteroo tour, loads of fun!!

Fraser island is the largest sand island in the world and the only way to get around the isalnd is with a 4X4, which was really cool and lots of fun. With a group of 11 people we crammed in the vehicle and set off for a great adventure, I was really happy because I was able to do most of the driving. I felt back in CC again bombing down the beach on a 4X4, haha too bad our speedomoter didnt work, haha!!

There are a bunch of lakes in Fraser Island which were all fresh water, it was really nice to swim in them, and really safe, considering that the water around Fraser Island was considered a Tigershark breading ground with some crazy rips. Each of the lakes we visited were like mini places of paradise. I could see how someone could get caught up with visiting the island and wanting to camp there for some time!!

This second lake was called Lake Wobby, and there was a huge sand dune on one side of the lake and the other side was rainforest, It was really cool to climb the dune and see all the sand around and then to slide down the dunes into the water!!

Here is a famous shipwreck that was on the beach on the island. This ship has been here for a while and is a really popular photospot for people on the island!!

Here are a few pics from Indian head, a point on the island that sorta kinda looks like an Indian Head. From here you would see things in the water....like sharks, haha!!!!!

We stopped and hung out in a really cool place called Champagne Pools. This was really cool becasue the rocks created the poos and the reason they are called Champagne Pools is because when the waves would break on the rocks the pools would bubble up and sound like someone pured champagne in the water. Really cool and really cold, haha!!

The highlight of the island was Lake McKenzie, this was compareable to Whiteheaven Beach in the Whitsunday Islands. Ill just let the photo speak for itself, and just so you know, the water was so clear and clean that you could actually drink it right from the lake.....which I did try and it tasted better then the bottle of water that I was carrying!! You could litterly see the bottom of the lake from the surface, it was just insaine!!
