Sunday, 20th December 2009 - Fraser Experience (Day 2)

We woke up bright and early at 7am, ready to have breakfast and showers and be ready to leave at 8 am. Then we headed in land on the island. Our destination, Lake McKenzie. We arrived early and walked down the slope to the lake. It was amazing. Crystal clear water, calm water. Blinding white sand. It really was such a beautiful place to see. The water within the lake exfoliate's the skin the mineral sand and softens your hair . We all went for a swim and detox from the alcohol the night before.
After a nice relaxing time at the lake we headed further inland to Central Station. From here we had a stop of lunch and then took a 1.8km walk though the Rain Forrest. Both Becky and Emma could not face the walk. So instead they sat it out and stayed with the bus. We saw some massive spiders, a few lizards and some gekos.

We also saw a 1000 year old tree. Yeah a 1000 year old tree. Now that deserved a hug if ever a tree needed one. It was strange walking though sand in a rainforest. But I was a nice, gentle walk. It was a lot cooler than we had expected and there was a refreshing breeze. Both Katy and I was the first to complete the walk, with the Japanese group the last.

From here we headed home. Now despite Sarah's stories about getting stuck in the sand we had not. We had only seen one person stuck in the sand and they just needed verbal encouragement to get out, no pushing or digging. So we was all a little disappointed when we was on the ferry heading back to Rainbow Beach that we had not got stuck. Well talk about speaking too early. When we got off the ferry there is about 20m of sand before the road and low and be hold here is where we got stuck for about 10 minutes. We wall thought it was hilarious. We went through the harshest of conditions on Fraser and then we get stuck 20m from the paved road. Hilarious.

Still, all agreed the Fraser Experience was excellent. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Fraser. Will definitely do it again. Loved it. Big shout out to Sarah our tour guide who was just wicked.
