The world’s largest sand island – Fraser Island. We did a day tour of the island with a company that organized everything. I think the only minus this tour and tours in general is that you cannot decide how long you want to be in one spot, it is all decided for you. Meaning at times you feel a bit rushed. There was lots to see, so maybe it was good someone was keeping us on the move. The waters are crystal clear in the lakes and streams. They are also cold since it is winter time. Some people made a plunge into Lake McKenzie, even though it was only maybe 12’C. I decided to admire the blues of the water and the whites of the sand. Lunch was included, buffet style with salads, some meats and a selection of warm dishes. Then the 4 wheel drive bus drove along the beach. It made stops by a ship wreck, steam that you could walk along and further down colourful sands. Indeed this is paradise (that too many people know about).
