Some photos from our roadtrip all the way round Australia!

In the 4x4

---

These guys were in our 4x4, two of them were the norwegian Olympic rowing team and had just come back from a competition in New Zealand where they got 4th in the world.

The Human Schnitzel!

---

we ran up the dune, then rolled back down to the bottom so your covered in sand (i.e. the human schnitzel) then jumped into the lake.

Sand Dune

---

I raced the Norweigian rowing guys up a giant sand dune. I got a respectable last place.

Collapse...

---

Running up sand dunes is very hard work!

Mako Sharks

---

A group of Mako sharks off Indian Heads, Fraser Island.

Travel Sick

---

It can get pretty bumpy driving on the beach - here the Swedish guy has to jump out the 4x4 to take a moment. He was probably not helped by all the wine he drunk the night before.

Turtle

---

This turtle was swimming in a freshwater lake on the island when our guide picked it out. We went swimming in the lake later.

Shipwreck, Fraser Island

---

The Shipwreck was really impressive, around 80 years old and beached on Fraser Island. I was pleased with this photo, as the surf came washing through the porthole just as I pressed the shutter button.

Dingo, Fraser Island

---

These Dingoes were not shy, so you have to be careful as with domestic dogs they have been known to attack people.

Dan?

---

ha ha I have included this photo as this guy reminded us all of Dan so much. His name is Rafaeli and he is also from Sao Paulo and his dad is Japanese, he was a cool guy.

Laura with a baby Aligator

---

Australia Zoo - Steve Irwins place.

King Brown

---

The deadliest snake in Australia, highly venomous.

Wombat and baby

---

trying to wake up his mum

with a Kanger!

---

this kangeroo was just kicking back and had no qualms (wear me own garms) with me taking a moment with him

Steve Irwin

---

In Steve Irwins original ute and tinny. RIP Steve.

Ski'ing?

---

This koala looked like it was ski'ing, or possibly it had smoked too much eucalyptus - either way it was holding on tight.

Guess which city?

---

...Sydney!

Car Hire...

---

Once we sold our beautiful car, Rula, we hired a Ford Falcon XR6 for 10 days - this was a different beast altogether: Fast, hugged the road and all modern luxeries... the sports seats were'nt good for sleeping in though!

Guess the location...?

---

... Summer Bay (Home and Away!) really Palm Beach in Sydney

Surfing some tiddlers

---

Surfing in Bundaberg. I recently had a surf lesson in Surfers Paradise so im just practising surfing on ready broken waves. Still a lot of fun.
