Exploring Hervey Bay, Fraser Island

---

Hi all

So sorry I have been slack with updating the travel blog; you must be wondering what has happened to us. We're 14 weeks on now from Olivia's birth and life is very busy, as you can imagine :-) So, here is a photo diary from our lovely two week holiday, with my Dad (who stayed with us for 6 weeks recently but has sadly gone home now), on a 42 foot catamaran on the seas next to Fraser Island, 2hrs flight north of Sydney. We had a lovely time sailing (quite a feat with just Mike and my Dad to raise the sails, steer and navigate) and exploring the coastline of the World Heritage Listed Fraser Island. We also went ashore for a day to 4x4 and see the pristine lakes and rainforests, beautiful! ... the photo captions should tell the story though. Remember to click on subsequent pages to view all 55 photos.

more news soon
Love

She slept through both flights, there and back, we were amazed ... and pleased!

Called the Jeza Bell, the 42 foot catamaran had four double cabins and two loos. It was great fun.

Look at all the luggage! I never realised how much was needed when travelling with a baby.
