My first trip to a Fraser Island was amazing.
Loved it all the way. So much to see and take in.
Took these as we entered Teewah beach for the start of our beach run up the coast.
Drive up the east side of the island to Eurong and headed inland to the majestic Lake Mckenzie.
I can't begin to tell you how beautiful this was.
Soft fine white sand and crystal clear freshwater lake in the middle of the world biggest sand island.
We spent a few hours swimming in the lake
Then a boring inland drive home, short cut through the bush of course and crossing the only bridge that actually crosses over the Noosa river.
A tiny old wood bridge where the Noosa river was merely a metre wide and a trickle of water.

One of my favorite places.
Good to see Lake McKenzie is looking good again, in 2012 it was overfull with little beach and dirty green water because of the amount of rain they had.
Nice one Mick, Fraser is pretty beautiful. Did you guys hire a car? Doesn't look like much fun in that stupid X5. . . A bit silly really. We did it years ago and hired a Jimny, it was perfect, drove everywhere easy.

no we didn't hire a car, we took a tour.
There was a group of three Toyota hire cars that we saw on the barge. Rusty pieces of junk but I guess will do the job required.

Yeah nice one. We saw heaps of hire troopies full of backpackers, they were getting stuck a bit. Probably a bit of driver error too but. You wouldn't want to buy a second hand one of those hire cars . . .
In 2006 we watched a Troopie full of back packers having several attempts to get off the beach through soft sand to Dilli Village and we drove through first go with camper trailers on the back.
You didnt even drop by and say hello you rude bugger.
You miss out on a nice drive tomorrow too, well within your capabilities, hell I was going to show you where shit creek is, only half a dozen people know my super secret squirrel spot is.
