Fraser Island

Supposedly the biggest sand island in the world. it might well be since there was sand wherever i looked ... I was booked onto a one-day tour, which commenced with a ferry (or barge) transfer onto the island. Once we were on the island, we were taken around by a purposefully built bus (4WD) driven by 'Captain Kangaroo' - our guide for the day - quite a character that guy. He took us to eli Greek first (a freshwater creek that led into the ocean) ...



... then we got a chance to take pictures of the Maheno Shipwreck ... and the pinnacles (or 'colored sands' as they call it) ...



... the highlight (and the grand finale) was a swim in Lake McKenzie ... a freshwater lake right in the middle of the island ...
