FRASER ISLAND

We did a 3 days and 2 nights trip to Fraser island, which is the world's biggest sand island. It is one of the MUSTS when you travel as a young backpacker in Australia! We payed for a guided tour, and travelled together with approximately 25 others. We were divided into three 4WD land cruisers, and were provided camping equitement and food for the weekend. During daytime we had toilets available, however during night, we had to digg a whole in the sand!! Fraser is the only place in Australia where dingo's live as wild. We saw several of them during our trip. We spent the weekend driving around to different sights on the island, like Lake McKenzie, hangover creek, champagne pools, indiand head, a shipwreck and lake Wabby. I got sand in my camera after the first day (arrrrr), so my camera was dead half of the trip. Luckely i managed to get all the sand out, so here are some of the photos I took!
