Fraser Island: a 4wd self-driving Survivor tour

---

I felt like I was on the Amazing Race. We had a briefing in the morning. 4 groups of 8 to 10 people were going to leave for a 3 day/2 night adventure on Fraser island, each driving their own 4wd car on the sand roads adn beaches...Wow...After an hour briefing, we went to the car central and packed our cars with the tents, the burners, the poles for the tent, the water tank, the coolers....first team ready had the most time left for the grocery. Basically, we had THE best team. We drove to the grocery store, had a total of 15 minutes to do all the shopping. The only thing is that we had to Italians with us who didn't quite understood english...they understood 50 minutes! After 15 mnutes, we were all back at the car ready to go while the italians were at the coffee shop enjoying a nice little coffee!!! All the other teams were on their way to the ferry which was leaving at 11 sharp! We looked for the Ital;ians and finally found them and drove like crazy to get 3 minutes before the ferry left...Ouf!!

Our team: 3 Irish (2 guys, one was super cute and obvisouly the Irish girl's boyfriend and the other one looked like Sam the Hobbit in the Lord of the Rings) 2 Itlaians, older, in their thirties, 2 Germans (a couple, the guy was a cameraman and photograph) and us! The two crazy canadians who drinks heaps of beer :p

Arrive on the island and wow! That driving is not going to be easy! Happily, i wasn't driviing since i don't drive standard!! 😊 The Irish guy went first adn was actually pretty good at it! After an intense 45 minutes of driving on the 10kms trak we ended up on the "highway" or the beach....super long and at low tide, it was a huge highway where al cars were driving to go north and south of the island! Went up to Indian Head to see the Champagne Pools and then back down to fund a camping spot close to the beach! Phil and I woke upfor the sunrise the next morning to do shots for the codumentary...It was just awesome! Went down to Lake Wabby where there was an immense sand dune...I could've been in the midle of the desert, i'd never seen so much sand! It was really nice! Also went to Eli Creek...but at low tide I could walk in the creek instaed of swimming in it!! Obviously we also stopped at Maheno shipwreck, took pictures...

The last day we went to the famous Lake Mckenzie with crystal clear water and then headed back to the ferry for 4pm....

First team off the ferry, first team at the car shop, first tam to empty our truck and get back to the hostel BEFORE the others so we could FINALLY take a good shower after 3 days camping! IT was just awesome!! I loved it! HAd so muchg fun, we had a great team that worked well together! If I had to be on Survivor or the Amazing Race, I would've picked my team for odds of winning 😊

We're now in Noosa, leavbing tomorrow for Brisbane where Dali is coming to join us in a few days!!!!! BEach is nice here, lots of fun! COming back oin the 2nd of may for those who were asking...soon :s

Happy easter everyone!!!
