Packed all our stuff, food and water and beers onto the beaten up Land Cruisers and headed for the ferry to Fraser Island. The worlds largest sand island (75mi by 15mi). After driving along the beach for a while it was my turn to head inland through the rainforest to the crystal clear Lake McKenzie for a swim. So much fun steering a 4WD through sand :)
On the way back we had a picnic by the beach and were greeted by an aboriginal guide before we headed far north to our camp
. After some chaotic cooking the kids took over partying 'til midnight...
Packten all unser Zeug, Essen und Wasser und Bier auf unsere zerbeulten Toyota Land Cruisers und fuhren in Richtung Faehre nach Fraser Island. Die weltweit groesste Sandinsel (120km mal 24km). Nachdem wir eine Weile am Strand entlang gefahren sind war ich an der Reihe den Gelaendewagen durch den Regenwald zum kristallklaren McKenzie See zu steuern. Macht viel Spass mit Vierradantrieb durch Sand zu fahren :)
Nach dem Schwimmen fuhren wir zurrueck zum Strand wo wir ein Picknik hatten und von einem Aboriginie begruesst wurden. Danach ging es weiter nach Norden zu unserem Zeltplatz. Nach einem etwas kaotischem Abendessen-Kochen mit etwa 100 anderen Campern war dann Partytime bis Mitternacht fuer die ueberwiegend 20jaehrigen...
