Going to Fraser island was an amazing experience. I was with a group of 8 people and we drove around the island in a big 4x4 car in 3 days. My group was very good and we had a lot of fun togther. The highlight of the trip was ofcource seeing the dingos, they are very curious and were around our camp the second night. The rangers are very strict and if you are cought feeding them or leaving garbage or food in the campside you get a big fine. So we had to be very careful and always have a toilet partner because they are known to attack people in vulnerable positions... ;) Fraser island is so beautyful, amazing beaches which have the purpose only to be a highway for the cars because you cannot go into the waters. The sea around the island is infested with Tiger sharks but unfortunately we didnt see any. I thing i saw a fin once but it could have been a dolphin. There are a lot of freshwater lakes in the island and we swam in them instead of the sea. We were all very sad leaving the island because we didnt have time to see everything we wanted, I could easily spend weeks there.
Yesterday evening i met a possum, it was on the roof of the backpackers i am staying at. Crazy me got so excited that i crawled up to the roof and we had an intimite moment together staring in each others eyes very close. It was just great ;) And more about animals, i woke up very early with the sound of a kookoburra and it was unforgettable, they are soooo loud and have this crazy laughter. I am enjoying every minute here.
Tomorrow me and Sharon are going to Airlie Beach. We will stay there untill tuesday and then we are off to the Whitsunday islands. It is a 3 day cruise and we sleep on the boat. It was not on my plan but everybody is going there and it just sounds so good and now i am very excited. We will snorkle with giant fish and turtles and cruise around the islands which are famouse for theire beauty.
