We spent much of the morning pottering around the camper and camp site. Mark went and had his hair cut and I did some washing and cleaned the camper a little! Once we did set off we called at a shark show place to take pics of the sharks for Tom, and then on to the supermarket. We ended up there for ages as we needed petrol and the station was shut for refuelling so we didn't get going until early lunchtime! First stop was Tin Can Bay as we had heard that you c...

We were up very early as the bus was collecting us at 7.20am to go to Fraser Island! Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and is a world heritage site. It was a long bus journey, about 1 hour, collecting everyone from their hostels and hotels! We finally arrived at the ferry dock, (they called it a barge!) and boarded ready for our 40 min journey across to the island! Once on the island we were allocated to a 4x4 bus. We were advised by the guy o...

Well, we weren't eaten by crocs and there were none waiting for us when we woke up! We left Rockhampton quite early as we wanted to get close to Fraser Island as we want to visit there tomorrow! It was a fairly long drive but I was entertained by Mark singing xmas songs!! He keeps singing silent night, and was chuffed when it came on the radio!! Bless him!! Unfortunately we saw lots of dead kangaroos on the road, :( We also saw lots of signs warning of Koalas, b...

We were up bright and early and ready to leave by 9am! We had one last mooch at the beach before setting off. Unfortunately we made a sad discovery this am, there was a squashed frog on the way to the showers.. :( We went down to Mackay harbour and port and they had long stretch of road which went out on the sea so you could see all the boats. It was quite long and we got some good views of the nice boats and the port. We've noticed the lack of stinger nets here...

We awoke to hear planes, and lots of them! When we emered from the camper we discovered that we were right next to an air field and lots of small planes were taking off! We finally managed to make breakfast in between fighting off the flies and went to reception to enquire about going out to the islands. We had a bit of a shock about the prices and soon realised that it was very similar to what we had done in Cairns when we visited the island and went snorkellin...
