Fraser Island

In Hervey Bay we change our camper van for a small red 4WD Suzuki for a couple of days. That’s the only way you can move around Fraser Island, a large sand island just in front of the coast. Harry wears a big smile tearing through the rough roads in the forest and when the low tides allow, hitting the beach that serves as the main highway. Late in the afternoon we set up our tent in the dunes for the starry night. Except some fishermen, we’re the only people on the beach as far as we can see. We throw a Frisbee between the dried up stingers on the sand. We see a dingo looking for food.The next morning we freshen up in Eli Creek, walking a bit upstream and floating in the sparkling clear water between tropical green banks back to the beach. Some more swimming in the white ringed deep blue coloured lakes, before we head back over the loose sandy roads to the ferry.
