Well we arrived at Rainbow Beach after leaving a "proposed" rehab session in 1770, and got checked in ready to do our Fraser Island trip. We immediatley bumped into some friends from along the way (sarah, spread and phil)-we was all taken to the actual Rainbow Beach which is known for its multicoloured rocks (hence the name) and is basically plonked in the middle of the rainforest, where we all watched the sunset and caught up on what happened on their fraser island trip!-time to panic! but as per usual it all ended in a very drunken party in the bus stop across the road with just an ipod station and goon a plenty!
The next day was our prep talk and when we got to meet our groups RESULT-there was 11 to a jeep and yet again we bumped into our good friends-the welshys!, so there was us 5 welsy 1 welshy 2 welshy 3 welshy 4 and nico! (the german)-so we just needed one more person-we got hayley-camper extrordinaire! without her we would probably still be on the island!-let the games begin! we ordered 20 boxes of goon and not much else!(80 litres)-record!
Obviously us being us we had a massive pre party (bar run out of goon)-hence fuzzy heads to rise at 6 and board the jeeps-thank god for hayley! welshy 2 decided it would be a good idea to continue on the goon and flaked at about 11! Panda was also a bit worse for wear after recieveing a goon punishment!-lots of driving up and down the beach-beautiful lake (lake mckenzie)-where we bumped into more friends (the Lukes) on a different trip. Then we all assigned ourselves a role-boys do manual girls do cooking-jordan became a professional chef in two days flat with minimal flies and sand.
we found a place to camp and managed to gather another 4 jeeps, while fighting off killer flies they were huge and they stung all the time! then had to do the actual camping bit-thank god for hayley-all welshys proved themselves useless!-completely lost nico by this point! so with tents up and dinner done it was party time! obviously we had the popular jeep-we played loads of drinking games-horse racing and the goon game, and learnt just how graceful it is to poo in a hole and bury it (luckily jordan bought baby wipes) more drinks, some musical tents and then the killer dingos come out-basically looks like a dog crossed with a fox-but we survived.
Day2-fell out of the tents at about 7-they tend to turn into baby saunas through the night! more flies-lots of sunshine, scrambled egg on toast for breakfast. at this point welshy 3 decided it would be a good idea to start drinking again-so we couldn't resist! we arrived at indian head slightly tipsy but trekked up to the top to look out over the sea where we saw whales sea turtles and sting rays-amazing-and off we went again to a place called ely creek-very refreshing paddled all the way down the creek and come acorss our first water snake (not a killer but could have a little munch) lunch on the beach and then off to set up camp and prepare to the eveinings activities!Once again everyone followed the party jeep ( by this time welshy 3 needed putting down ) dinner consisted of chicken and fly stirfry with chilli and sand sauce-but still eatable. with dinner out the way it was yet again goon o'clock. welshy 3 passed out face down in the sand quite quickly so welshy 1 proceeded to give him a golden shower. Panda also passed out relatively quickly. Lots of drunken running around where Tom and jordan thought it would be a good idea to go for a dip-very strong waves-lost jordan twice (dont panic tom had her hand)-lots of rolling down sand banks-by the time they got back Pand de Laranda (renamed by a drunken welshy 3) had arisen from nowhere where we accumulated one of many new sayings-"who put 10 pence in you!" We love it. lots more goon and time to pass out.
Day 3-NO WATER JUST GOON! another 7 am wake up call and straight back to the vino!-Tom held back for a few hours as he was designated driver-but still very over the limit. made a dash to the ferry (some body parts were exposed along the way) with seconds to spare at 1:30-Toms turn to drink. We arrived at the jeep drop off an absolute mess-Welshy 1 hid by the sleeping bags, welshy 3 was passed out along with Jo Jordan and Panda de Laranda who had a little nap by the jeep-Tom Katherine, Welshy 2 and 4 and hayley (again we lost nico) done all the work and dished out plenty of abuse-we got away with no charges.
Back at the hostel (dingos) unpack (where Jordan discovered she had left all her clothes on the island!!) 45 minute nap and back on the goon-ended up as another bus stop party-as you can probably guess by now drunken mess. This is where jo and Welshy 3 had a little nap on the concrete.
The next day was the day to leave-we had managed to consme 72 litres of goon between 10 of us in 3 nights-you do the math (its not big and its not clever) We had to leave our new welsh family-it was time to move on to rehab.
