Fraser Island

On the barge

Fraser Island is the biggest sand island in the world. It has a lot of dingoes and you are reminded everywhere of signs not to feed, leave food out or go near them.

Driving along Fraser Island

Woke up early on the day we left for Fraser. The drama in the morning was a brush turkey getting caught on a piece of fishing line on a tree. It was hanging up side down from a branch. TJ drove the car over to reach the line and took it down. His good deed for the day.

After saying goodbye to our neighbours for the last 3 nights, we went over to Fraser on the barge. It was only us and a bus on board. We eventually figured out that high tide was 10am and we had to drive along the high end of the beach which is soft. No wonder there were not many cars both ways. If wasn't a problem for us except for the higher fuel consumption. 

Before setting up camp at Cornwells, we made a stop at Eurong village, where we indulged in a sausage roll and pie. I believed this was our first junk food since we left a week ago. 

We found a site and finished setting up at 3pm, just in time to get a dip in the ocean before it gets too cold. With no fire allowed at Fraser, we settled for hotdogs.
