Today was a rather uneventful day and not a lot to write about. We left Mataranka in the morning and travelled to Roper Bar where we stopped and topped up on cups of tea. Then it was off to Munbililla or commonly known as Tomato Island. This was a beautiful camping ground with large open space and you could park wherever you wanted. Joe was worried about fuel so Colin and Joe decided to drive back to Roper Bar to get more fuel, better to be safe than sorry. This ...

It was our turn to leave Fraser Island today. We have had a great week and one I will remember always. We had to be out of the park by 10am but low tide wasn't until mid arvo so we drove as far as we could.

From there we went to Orchid Beach going around and around in circles looking for the road to Marloo Bay but 11 kilometres and an hour later we ended up in Wathumba beach. After lunch and...

Early start so that we could be on the ferry before 9 am. Joe D and Jen had been out to the ferry the day before to watch the vehicles getting bogged in the sand getting on and getting off the ferry. We all prepared by reducing the tyre pressures on our vehicles and then set off. The first obstacle was getting out of the campsite, but thankfully we negotiated this reasonably easily unlike the night before. With the two Toyotas in front and the Nissan bringing u...
