07 april - day one fraser island

07 april---
today i left for my three day tour on fraser islanddd! i started my day at the beautiful hour of SIX AM! and left hervey bay at 730. first, we met ou tour guide, hayden...who is the typical outdoor loving, hilariously great aussie. we took a ferry ride over to the island then began our while 4WD bus trek.seatbelts were required as it was a bumpy road. i met 3 really great firls, tatiana from brasil...she's was absolutely adorable. then there were 2 danish girls sarah and rikke.

first we went to basin lake. we hiked up a trail to this beautiful lake high up in the sand dunes!
then we hiked down and road to central station to have lunch. from there we began on the rainforest boardwalk. this is the only subtropical rainforest in all sand! on the boardwalk we saw wanggoolba creek. it is absolutely crystal clear! the lcearest creek i have seen in my life.
from here we got picked up at the end of the hike and went to lake mckenzie. it was stunninggg! the girls and i took lots of pictures then sarah and i sat in the water for a while, it was so nice and relaxing.

then we headed back to the camp for the night and a few of us walked up to a look out to watch the sunset! the picture doesn't even do it justice.
tonight we had "australian chinese"...basically normal food with fried rice. then we hung out for a while then hit the dance floor! absolutely fantastic first day on fraser! :]
