Fraser Island

After our day trip to Moreton Island we loaded ourselves back into the Hippie Camper and started to drive towards Hervey Bay. We stopped at a rest area that night and cooked satay chicken kebabs on our portable grill and ate dinner there and then continued on.

We arrived in Hervey Bay right around midnight and found a place to camp down for the night. We awoke around 6am and drove just outside of Hervey Bay to Riverheads where were were supposed to board our cruise over to Fraser Island for a day tour. We arrived at the boat dock at 7am only to find out that we weren't actually supposed to be there until 8am. It ended up being a blessing because I soon realized that I was missing one of my UGG boots from the Hippie Camper and we had to drive back to our campsite to look for it. We found in on the ground-Rob had knocked it out on accident on a late night bathroom break.

We made it back to the boat on time and cruised over to Fraser Island to begin our tour of the world's largest sand island.



Lake McKenzie on Fraser Island. It's a lake from pure rain water. So clear!






The sand is so fine you can use it to naturally exfoliate your skin.
I was so soft after this!

Ahhhhh

We got stuck in the sand! We all had to get off of the bus
