Let's start by explaining a little bit more about Fraser and the trip I'm on.
So Fraser Island is the largest sand Island in the world. When it was first discovered, they though it was part of the mainland. There is no sealed road on the Island, but it doesn't made it impossible to have the east coast registered as State Highway. There is around 40 fresh water lake on the island, the most popular being Lake McKenzie. It's only possible to drive on the east coast, the west being too exposed to the weather and too dangerous to drive on sand.
I'm going with what they call a tag along tour. There is four cars, the first one being driven by our guide and the three other one by whoever have a licence and want to drive. Luckily for me they don't know about my last adventure behind the wheel and they let me drive, probably would have say no if they did ;)
We where divided by car, and each car was responsible to cook their food. We had a meal plan with everything we needed for it. I have to say, when you are 8 peoples that you just met and you have to cook together and everybody want to do it a different way, it makes it interesting. Let's say that after the first day, I decided that my contribution was to clean the dishes...
We camped at a permanent camping area, no need to put up our tent every night. Easy camping ;)
For the driving, I wasn't feeling too confident with my past and having 7 persons in the car, felt a little stressed. But everything went well. I drove the easy part, along the beach at low tide, perfect!!
I had a good time, happy that I changed my mind and went.
Car number two (the blue one) is the best!! |
