Fraser Island

What a weekend! What an island!! What happened?? Somebody remind me pleace cuz I drank all my memories away... stupid Goon! haha but seriously, Fraser Island is unbelievable! An island about 70kms long and made up of almost eniterly sand! I had to be up @ 6am to take the barge to the island. I went on a self-drive 4wd Safari with 10 other people. Really good group! I have now seen heaven and it's a lake called Lake McKenzie! unbelievable white sand and the bluest water. Then went went to Lake Wabby which is the this Lake in the middle of a sand dune and it's so steep to get down to it we all ran down and dove into the water... I also was the only one to ROLL down it. Good Times! though it took me about three tries to stand up again after! We spent so much time there that we were an hour and a half late getting to our basecamp for the night. We figured the deadline was so we could put up the tent before it got dark... but it was really because that's when the tide gets too high, as the main "highway" on fraser island is the Eastern beach! going 80km/h on a beach is AWESOME! So we made it to the beach with still about 50 km ahead of us and the water coming up real fast. Rule #1 on the trip was salt water kills cars... OOPS!!! hahaha. It got pretty harry at sme points as most of had to pile out of the car and let the driver go through the creeks that run to the beach alone. The second day we went to a place called Indian Head, where you're supposed to be able to see turtles, whales, manta rays, and tiger sharks feeding but we only saw whales. beautiful place though! Second night's a bit of a blur ;) but the third day we went to the second most beautiful lake ever and swam, and played some soccer!. I scored 4 goals!! I'm awesome! ;)
