We got up around 7.00pm and got our bags ready for our flight today. We had some breakfast and checked out of the hostel just after 10.00am. We got a taxi to the airport because unfortunately this was the easiest, definitely not the cheapest way to get around in Hervey Bay. The airport was tiny, there were only a couple of check in desks and then one room to enter before the flight leaves. We were a bit early because we had to check out of the hostel anyway, so w...

After another good night's sleep we woke up at sunrise, it was beautiful over the sea with the shipwreck in the background. We made breakfast and got packed up and sorted for our last day. We headed south at around 10.00am heading to Eli Creek. The drive wasn't so bad but when we reached the first set of rocks the tide was still on it's way out. Even the local people were taking their time to go over the rocks and through the water. We went for it, James was very...

We slept until around 8.00am this morning feeling much more refreshed. We made some coffee and breakfast, then got on our way. We were heading north still to a place called Champagne pools. It was a rocky area with some huge parts of it covered in water, quite deep water. The rock pools it makes have loads of crabs and fish in them. The name Champagne pools comes from the huge waves that come over the top of the pools and splash inside to make bubbles. We spent a...

We got up really early this morning to get the last bits of packing and organising done, we had cereal then got set off. We wanted to get to the petrol station first to get a few last bits. We had to be at the crossing for 8.00am to get the ferry which leaves for Fraser Island at 8.30am. We made it in time, the ferry was only small with enough space for 5/6 cars. The car had to be reversed onto the ferry (I'm glad James was driving) it only took around half an ho...

We got our breakfast nice and early again this morning and checked out at 9.30am. We headed to the MRT station to get our train which would take us most of the way to Hervey Bay then we would get our connecting bus. We were early for the train as we had to check out from the guesthouse so early but James did manage to get a SIM card while we were waiting. We got into the train and found our seats, the train seemed fairly quiet which was good. It took around four ...
