Fraser Island / Hervey Bay 11.05. – 14.05.2008
These days was the “best adventure†so far! Was on the biggest sand island in the world (Fraser Island) on a 4 wheel self drive trip for 3 days. We were a group of three cars (30 people) out in the woods, Camping in tents, Barbecue, shower in lakes…
We had a few difficulties with our car/group – first we lost the car keys in the supermarket before we even started the trip, then on the first day the car made weird noises, one of the girls wanted to leave the island because she was claustrophobic and last but not least it rained during the night and the “waterproof” tents had holes…Next day didn’t start better…We forgot to lock the garbagebags in the cars before going to bed, so the Dingos came at night…While we were cleaning up the whole area from our dispersed garbage and getting all the equipment together it was raining alot. Of course as soon as we were done the sun came out… And then it was just perfect! We saw some of the best places ever. The variety was awesome! A ship wrack, cliffs from where we could see dolphines, rainforest and desert, lakes and creeks in unbelieveble colors…
We also invented a new drinking game which we should get a patent for! The name is: hot potato hot potato! The Rules: Take a well cooked potato out from boiling water, throw it to somebody in the circle as fast as possible (you will anyway because it’s very hot) and if the person you throw it to doesn’t catch it or smashes it while catching he/she has to drink. Of course it has to be dark!!!
The days before and after the trip I stayed in Hervey Bay. We were busy with washing cloth (the sand was everywhere…)changeing room because we had bedbucks and spending some more time with the group.
