great sandy island

We took the opportunity of days off from Chris in between Christmas and New Year to go camping at Fraser Island.  This was my first camping trip there - we had visited for one day on our honeymoon - and the first run of the new tent for our family.  The tent held up well in the rain and wind.

It was an awesome trip filled with games and sand driving and swimming and lots of food.  And the moment in the morning in the tent when you are busting but weigh up for about twenty minutes how much your bladder can hold and is it worth walking the 200 metres to the campsite loo.

And the moment when I kind of broke the car a bit driving in soft sand - we lost acceleration for a day when I took some bumps too fast - sky! sand! sky! sand! children hitting their heads on the roof in the back seat!

Fraser is a wonderful place to see the creativeness of creation unspoilt.  I thank God that I was able to spend time in this wonderful place with my family and some great friends.

Here are just a few of the many many photos I took at Eli Creek, Lake Berribeen, Lake Wabby, Lake Mackenzie, Maheno Wreck, Indian Head, Dilli Village, on the barge etc etc etc.

Love Fraser Island.

  1. That moment when you are busting is worse when it is in the middle of the night and the temperature outside your sleeping bag is under zero. Now that is not fun. Did that in November! And when you are eating breakfast and realise that the washers on the line have frozen since you woke up, that is memorable!

    Love camping, but the warmer weather is definitely better. Only advantage of the cold is that you don't need to lather yourself in insect repellant and sunscreen all the time.
