I loved Fraser Island when I went last year in December. So it as not hard work to decide to go again. Because time was limited we only had a day to spend on the Island. I managed to find a really good tour. In a Hummer. Now I love Hummers. Basically they are US Army vehicles. They have been re-designed slightly to general use.
Now from the outside the cars are really kewl. But they are so bulky. The doors are still super reinforced, I doubt even a missile could penetrate through them. But that just means they feel really small inside. So they are massive cars, but inside they feel like a Mini. Anyway enough about the Hummer.
The guided tour was kewl. There was just four of us in the Hummer. Some old couple from the UK Bob and Carol or something similar to that.
It has rained a lot since I was last on Fraser and that makes it a smoother drive. The rain compacts the sand and makes it easier to drive on. But it was still really bumpy. We started of at Eli Creek and walked down the Creek. The creek is rain water that has filtered through the sand for about 100 years. Crystal clear.
From there we headed along to the wreck of the Meheno, the Pinnacles. After that we went to a view point over looking the sand dunes and had some lunch and beer. After lunch we went to the magical Lake Mackenzie. It as glorious day, sun was shinning and it was great to dive and mess around in the crystal clear water.
Sadly that was all we had time for and could of coped with. We was shattered. Still we got back to Harvey Bay and then headed further down south to Tin Can Bay.
