Fraser Island, Australia

We're a bit behind on the blog and so much has happened so we'll do our best to keep you all up to date.
From April 18 to the 21st we went with Michelle and Charles to Fraser Island which is in Great Sandy National Park and is off the coast from Noosa. Basically It's a huge sand island that is a very popular tourist destination. We were very happy to be with Michelle and Charles and Jill (their 4x4), instead of a huge backpacker bus. The main way to travel on the island is to drive on the beach which I really enjoyed. It was a bit wierd though driving 80km/h on the beach with the waves crashing right next to you. On the island there are also quite a few large fresh water lakes that are so clear and the water so blue. The water was also very cool and refreshing to swim in.

Here's me driving Jill down the beach.

This is a creek that runs through the centre of the island.

This is one of the dunes on the island. (We also hiked down to the water you see for a swim)

Here we are swimming in lake Birrabeen.
