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.

Then I think up past Double Island Point to Rainbow beach, or the other way around, can't remember.

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

This is back on the barge going back to the main land.
$150k plus BMW X5 taken to Fraser Island, trying to beat the high tide, but failing.
Got very very very very very lucky to make it back to the barge.

At first thought everything was OK, apart from being stupid enough to take it to Fraser and drive back to the barge at high tide.

On closer inspection things weren't so pretty.

Low profile run flat tyres, so can't air down, blew out front and rear tyres on the trees that hang out the sand cos he didn't want to get the car wet
Attachment 54029
Had it slowed down or stopped when they blew out and bogged down in the sand with a rapidly rising tide, car would have been finished.
Made it off the barge and off the sand safety waiting for a tow truck, as he waves goodbye to $150 grand.
And we also saw this Patrol and three rusted out Land croozers

This is my favourite shot looking back at the barge towards Fraser Island.

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.
