Fraser Island, Rainbow Beach, 1770 and Kroombit Cattle Station

We haven't writen for a while as we haven't had reception for internet. After Noosa we went to Fraser Island: the largest island in the world formed from just sand. We travelled the island in four wheel drives and camped next to the beach at night, avoiding the dingoes trying to get in on our dinner!

 Here we went snorkelling in beautiful Lake Mckenzie, we even caught a turtle :)


We also went to other lakes, rivers and creeks. Here we are standing infront of Eli creek.

This is a shipwreck which has obviously been there for a while. This is the group of people we spend our three days on the island with.

Back at Rainbow Beach we visited the sand dunes. There are 70 different colour sands there because of it's location, the sand is washed here from all over the world. Here we also learnt how to throw a boomerang, and went sand sledging down the dunes.

Then we headed onto 1770 and did the famous Scooteroo. We got to ride these 'Mini Harleys', and as you can see, dress up like hardcore bikers!

A cattle station in Kroombit, further inland then turned us into cowgirls. Here is our attempt of lassooing a goat! It proved to be alot harder than it looks. Hahah. We also learnt how to crack whips and tried not to get thrown off the mechanical bull!

Now we're at Airlie Beach, we're going to cruise out on a sailing boat this afternoon to the Whitsunday islands and stay on a sailing boat for two nights. We'll let you know how it goes :)
