Fraser Island

Fraser Island, just off the coast of southern Queensland, is the one of the largest sand islands in the world. It is home to many freshwater lakes, shipwrecks, huge sand dunes, whales, tropical rainforests, and dingoes. Jordan and I were put into a group along with seven other strangers, given our four-wheel drive, and we headed for the ferries. We camped out for two nights and spent about three days 4-wheeling around the island in our beat up old landcruiser, seeing the sights. The weather was great on our first day, ok on the second, and then didn't stop raining on our third, which was unfortunate. We camped with another "truckload" of backpackers and at night, the lot of about 20 of us had some pretty competitive flip cup games. Our weekend was made by two Korean guys in our group, whose names I won't even attempt to spell. They were super nice guys, very easy going, spoke little english, but were a blast to hang with. They're two main passions in life were to take pictures, and jump, often combining the two. We became pretty close with them over the past three days and on our last night in Hervey Bay, they, along with the two girls they were travelling with, cooked us a Korean dinner. We recipricated the favor with some jugs of beer at the bar. We arrived in Noosa today, which is a small beach community a couple hours north of Brisbane, and will be staying here for two nights.
