Well since my last entry I stayed an extra day in Brisbane and went to another wildlife sanctuary, Amy got to hold a Koala and I opted to hold a 3m long snake, she was a diamond python named Kimberley it was really odd and she wouldn't keep still she felt like hard plastic. The next day I went on the greyhound up to Hervey bay where I am now. We then went to Fraser island for a two day 1 night trip. Fraser island is the largest sand island in the world and the only way you can explore it is by 4 x 4 which was really cool, we visited loads of places including two beautifal lakes called lake Wabby and lake Mckensie, we also drove almost 60km down a beach I would have really liked to have had a go at that and saw turtles and rays out to see from high up on Indian head.

The island also has wild Dingos, I saw two but they look so much like dogs that I wasn't really afraid even those these dogs are killers and there are fenced areas all over the island to keep them out. Tonight I am going on the night bus to the Whitsundays which are supposed to be amazing.
