FRASER ISLAND

Fraser Island was beautiful! After a long bus ride to Hervey Bay and a little ferry ride we arrived at Fraser Island. You are brought into the Kingfisher Bay Resort (which is huge) and checked in and went up to our lodges. We had a free afternoon so we decided to chill by the pool at the main resort and after having the best vanilla milkshake, a cocktail and a mental breakdown about how much I wanted to be staying in a nice hotel, we headed back up to our rooms. All our meals were provided for us on the 4 days on Fraser Island and it was so nice to not have to worry about what we're going to cook or where we're going to eat!

Our second day on Fraser Island began with an early start (shock) and a little 4x4 drive to Lake Mckenzie. It was beautiful and we had the best weather! The rest of the day consisted of a rainforest walk and another lake. 

The third day was probably my favourite. We first went to champagne pools. This is where there are a few little rock pools and the waves crash at the front of them and then the sea water flows through keeping them topped up. It was an amazing thing to see and it was like little swimming pools right by the ocean. After we went to Indian head, which is quite a big lookout and you climb up lots of big rocks then onto a path and you can see for miles! Down the road- by road I mean beach as you're literally driving right next to the sea! We stopped off at the ship wreck where we took some photos and the guide told us the next cyclone to hit will most probably destroy it, so it's something the next generation might not see; I think it's quite cool that we've can say we saw it :). We ended the day at Eli Creek with some inflatable rings just floating down it. It was crystal clear (and freezing cold) and the way it flowed meant it was just like a lazy river. 

The fourth day we went to a lake and paddle boarded, something Brad and I just couldn't get the hang of so we kept falling in! Then we went to some sand dunes where you could run up them and roll back down. Afterwards we went back to Lake McKenzie where Brad and I had a little nap on the sand, then after a bumpy ride home we got back on the ferry to Hervey Bay. We had one night here so we winged it with accommodation- aka just go into any hostel and pray they have a room. Then finished our night with some fish and chips from down by the sea :)

We enjoyed Fraser Island so much and there was so many activities which meant we made the most out of the island! It was amazing and I would definitely go back!
