Aussie Pictures: Fraser Island [1]

On the way to Fraser Island, we stopped for about an hour in Brisbane. That was all the time I spent in Brisbane, but at least it was a nice day!

The required picture of me in Brisbane.

We made it to Fraser Island in time to catch the sunset. We were staying on the east side of the island, so we couldn't really see the sunset, but it was still really pretty on the beach.

Since I didn't go on the 4WD tour, I spent a lot of time at this pool. You can see how there aren't any stairs or anything, the pool just gradually slopes down to be deeper and deeper. It wasn't heated, but because of the air temperature it was warm enough to be wonderful.

There are no sealed roads on Fraser Island, so even the transfer busses are 4WD vehicles!

We had a birthday party for our tour company on the beach on the second night with champange and 'nibbles' (strawberries, cheese, crackers, etc).

You can't swim in the waters off of Fraser Island not only because of strong currents and sharks but because of the number of deadly jellyfish at the shoreline. These are some that got washed ashore in the morning.

I love this picture. I took it when I was up for the sunrise.
