Fraser Island !

I just receantly finished a 3 day camping safari on Fraser Island- the world's largest sand island. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip thus far. The island has rainforest and over 200 freshwater lakes as well as sandblows that are over 200 meters tall. I was in a group of ten people, who were all great. We rented a 4x4 land rover to tour the island. The first day we went to Lake McKenzie, which is one of the most amazing lakes I've ever seen. The water is so clear and the sand is so white. We camped out that night and traveled around the island the next day seeing an old ship that wrecked on the shore a long time ago. The last day we were at another lake where a huge sandblow (mountain of sand) sloped into the lake. It was a ton of fun to run down the side and dive into the water. Driving the 4x4 in the sand was different, but lots of fun as well. All in all, it was an awesome time.

The picture above is Lake McKenzie.

I forgot to mention that the ocean surrounding the island is full of tiger sharks; therefore, no one swam in the ocean. And on the island itself were "deadly dingoes". These are wild dogs that have actually killed some kids. There was a 9 year old boy from Brisbane who died from a dingo only a few years ago. We saw three or four of them, but they didn't bother us.
