We’re just back from exploring Fraser Isaland! What a trip it was. We went with mates Dave, Suzi, Tim and Sam from the diving course we went on in Cairns. We all rented our own 4×4 Toyota Landcruiser and did a self guided tour around the island. It was alot of fun driving on the beaches and bumpy inland tracks in it!
We got the jeep at about 8am and headed off to the the beach to get the barge over to the island. We went from Rainbow Beach to Fraser so it only was about a 10 minute barge ride, nice and quick. Once on Fraser we headed straight inland and checked out some of the lakes and had some swims. The lakes were amazing, crystal clear fresh water and really white sand, the visibility was amazing. After that we headed to where we were going to camp that night and set up shop. 
We went off for a drive to look for a bbq area but when we found one our battery in the car died and instead of cooking we had to organise how were were gonig to get back to the camp site as we were stranded! it was pitch dark and dingos roam freely all over the island so we wanted to get back! We ended up walking back and managed to get some jumpleads and a jump so we were all good. We got a replacement car the next day too which was grand! Once we got back we just fried the sausages on the gas stove and ate and drank some boxed wine 
The next day we headed up north and did some more exploring and swimming. We camped on the beach and had a great boozey time! We cooked a simple pasta dinner and had the craic. One of the lads had a guitar so we had a bit of a sing song. I also had my harmonica too so we got to have a bit of a jam!
Today we packed up really early in the RAIN! It was pelting down! Where did this come from!!! we headed as north as we could and climbed a cliff. The views were stunning and thankfully the weather cleared a bit! Then raced back along the beach in order to make the tide! The waves were pretty rough and it was pretty tight at some cases! We got the barge back to the mainland and brought the car back.
Fraser Island was great fun and I wish I was heading there again tomorrow!
