Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 19

Like the Whitsundays there's shit loads of choice when you go to Fraser Island. The most popular are the 2 night 3 day self drive tours but you can also get guided tours ranging from one to three days or you can take yourself and your 4WD over and explore it that way provided you can be bothered...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 18

Irma had mentioned renting bicycles a few times but I figured it was a Dutch thing and she could be easily distracted from the subject by windmills and clogs but today I relented and we hired some from the hostel because the weather had picked up and it'd be a nice way to see the Esplanade. We...

Sand and Sea - Night 33

As usual, I was the first to awake despite my bout of wine drinking the night before. My customary morning walk took me down to the sea and then north to the Pinnacles, strange sand blown formations much like the Badlands of South Dakota. Upon my return the group was up and at em’, so we left...

First Day on Fraser

After our short introductory meeting we left the Next Backpackers hostel around 9pm for the drive to the ferry terminal. We were early enough to be the first ones on, which meant we would be the first ones off once the boat was docked on the Island. The sea was rough and 45 minute crossing was...

Off-roading on Fraser Island

It was a 5:00 wake-up for our trip to Fraser Island. On the plus side, it meant that we’d probably avoid the weird old landlady. We were renting a 4 wheel drive truck for our 2-day journey onto the island, and we had to attend a mandatory instruction and safety briefing before we were allowed...
