Well, we got to Hervey Bay late on Wednesday night and were all geared up for our Fraser Island adventure. For those that don't know, Fraser Island is basically a sand island (the biggest one in the world) just off the coast of Australia. We had signed up for a 3 day camping adventure. We have no guide, just fellow travelers and we navigate our way through the island in a huge jeep. We had no idea what to expect, but our group was the four of us, 2 Canadiens, 1 French guy, 2 German girls & 1 Korean guy. We loaded up took the ferry and were on our way.....our first stop was Lake MacKenzie, the most popular destination on Fraser Island. It's basically this clear lake....I've definitely never seen anything like it, unbelievable!!! It ... read more

Hello Everyone, We've arrived in Brisbane and are finally done with our bus transport!! Bus is by far the worst way to travel...so slow! Anyways, when we were back in Hervey Bay we went out to Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. We went on a self drive safari with 8 other people that we got put with in a 3 ton 4X4 vehicle. The morning we left we had an hour briefing on safety and instructions on how to drive on the loose sand and beaches. Needless to say after the briefing we got the feeling that we would be lucky to come back alive. The vulgor guide that did our briefing played videos and told stories of nasty rollovers that left many either dead or paralysed! Funny how they tell you ... read more

We stayed one night in Hervey Bay before embarking on a two day guided trip to Fraser Island just off the coast there. Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and has miles of beach ( not that you can swim in the sea on account of the currents and Tiger Sharks ), rainforest, lakes, marshland, sand blows etc. The trip mostly involved being bounced along sand tracks in the back of a big 4 wheel drive bus with a load of germans ( we were the only english people - even the guide was german! ). We got to swim in lakes and creeks, walk through a bit of rain forrest, revise GSCE german and so on. I'm not sure it was great value for money but it was an OK trip. ... read more
