Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 17

Fraser Island, Australia


I'd like to start this post with a small interactive exercise. Reach into the top drawer and remove your List Of Things Not To Bother With Ever Even If You Have All The Time In The World, Are Acually Dying Of Boredom And If You Don't Find Something To Do Soon You'll Be Reaching For The Razor Blades. Now, take a pen and write the following in large, capital letters at the top of the list: "Mystery Craters near Bundaberg."
They're some holes in the ground in someones garden and for $6 they let you walk around and marvel at the... well... mystery of the craters. Apparently no one knows how they were formed, probably due to lack of interest and the highlight of the event is the completely random fibre glass model of a cartoon T-Rex. But just in case you're one of these people that simply has to do something they've been advised not to just in case they're missing out on something, here's a photo of it to make sure you don't go squandering good drinking money on something you could recreate with play-doh in your own living room.

There. Now aren't you glad I'm here to make your mistakes so you don't have to?

Anyway, we made it down to Hervey Bay and booked into Woolshed Backpackers because they have double rooms for $23 each a night which is pretty cool considering we'd been paying about the same if not more for shared dorms and definately good because we were getting closer to Brisbane and there was still no sign of this drought I'd been promised. We were rained off the next day and spent the day watching DVDs and trying to decide which Fraser Island tour to go on once the rain subsided. Lets face it, it doesn't matter how pretty it is, an island made of sand is gonna be miserable in the wet.

I live life on the edge.

Provided I'm harnessed to a safety rope and there's a team of trained professionals on hand to make sure I don't fall off.
