We were up early again and ready to leave quite early so we had the whole day to spend in Brisbane. The roads were fairly quiet in comparison to yesterday and we managed to park easily and for free! We went for a look around the main part of the city/shopping area, Queens street mall. There were allsorts of shops and food places, many of which hadn't opened as we were too early! We went to King George square where the city hall is and up to central station. We st...

Another early start as we were down at the harbour by 7.15am ready to see the dolphins. We stood watching them until 8am and you could stand in the water while they swam around you. We were told a little about the dolphins and the history as to why they had come in. They originally started coming in years ago when one dolphin got attacked by a shark and he found his way into the harbour and they took care of him. He started coming back to visit daily and brought ...

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!

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.

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...
