So bit of a break from blogging as for the past three days I have been on Fraser Island, home of the dingos! What an amazing island, paradise! It starting with a briefing session where we met out group and got told about the dangers on Fraser, including snakes, spiders, sea life and ofcourse the dingos. In our group we had a couple (Rachel and Marc) and her mum (Carmen) they were all lovely and we got on really well. Then there was Philippo, Luka and Fabio... ...

Our boat was called "Jammin" and was a speedy little rib. Laura and I were the last two to board the boat which meant seats had all been taken...

Morning tea and biscuits aboard the boat then arriving at the pontoon where we collected out Lyra sting proof suits (unattractive thi...

Up early and uncle Brian's bus. We began the tour with an hours drive to Babinda Boulders. Whilst here we walked through the rain forest and man it was a RAIN forest... Unfortunately it rained most the day. This area had many many danger signs and notices of people who had lost their lives to the river below. The river, as the name suggests, homes an abundance of huge boulders. Aborigine legend tells the tale that a female from one tribe, betrothed to a male from...
