The hot goon bag worked a treat last night, we both slept better in the one big sleeping bag so it was much more cosy. Our alarm went off early so we could watch the sun rise at 6:15am from the beach. Both Emma's and Nanna were also up to watch it and so was Tony. He had made a small bench for us to sit on while we sipped our cups of tea. It was really lovely, especially when Tony handed out his home made banana cake to us! It was delicious! 

The sky was a lot clearer this morning so hopefully we will get a bit of warm weather today. Our car was still on the beach so we all ran down and climbed on top to pose for a few photos while Tony took them. They came out great! Shortly afterwards a mechanic turned up with a replacement battery to get it working again, at last! So we packed our stuff up and swept out our tents. Even though we were so careful not to get sand in them we still ended up with half the beach in there! The girls tent was even worse, last night the Emma's swept all the sand out of their tent, they couldn't understand why there was so much in there! Then, right afterwards, we saw Nanna tread straight in to get something without wiping her shoes first! It was quite funny to watch lol. 

Oh yeah, we spoke to Mo and Judith this morning, they said they were surrounded by nine dingos last night as they were packing up! I would have freaked out if I was still up!

As we started to put our stuff back into the car we saw two dingos come out from the bushes, one of them sat down and started to howl, it was really cool to see, then they disappeared up the beach. We walked back over to the camp and noticed one of the girls from the car we had our stuff in was stressing out. We asked her why and she said her camera had gone missing. We helped her look and I asked the others if they had seen it, then she had the cheek to accuse us! Chris heard her say out loudly so everyone could hear "Thanks guys, who needs pictures anyway?!" Chris wanted to say something but kept his mouth shut. He told me and the girls and we double checked our bags and car incase it had accidentally been moved into our car. It was clear, we all had our own cameras so we would have no reason to steal hers anyway. Tony came over and asked Chris what he was looking for and he explained the girl lost her camera. Then Tony reached into their car and pulled a camera out of the middle glove compartment and asked "What this one?" as he held it up in front of her. She looked embarrassed but didn't apologise, I think her friends were more embarrassed and had to apologise for her. 

A few minutes later everyone were in their cars and ready to go again. Chris was back in the driving seat and drove us for forty minutes to lake Mackenzie. The Isreali girl's friend left this morning to go back home so she decided to move into the car he was in. I think she felt more comfortable with the other group, we didn't mind though, we were back to five in the car so we had a bit more room to move about. Now that we had a car that actually worked Chris took full advantage of it and decided to keep to the back of the group. That way he could slow right down to the let the other cars get ahead and then hammer it as fast as he could through the rainforest and sand. It was really good fun and we all had to hold on tight! No one was afraid or motion sick so Chris hit as many bumps as he could as quick as he could, all without Tony knowing. 

It turned out to be a beautiful warm sunny day, when we got to the lake it was really nice, the sun really showed off the blues and greens in the water. Chris jumped in straight away for a swim while us girls sunbathed. It was a nice change to feel some warmth on our skin so none of us were in a hurry to get in. The water may have looked inviting but it was freezing as hell! When we finally plucked up the courage we all got in and Chris got a really good photo of us four together. Then I made Chris get in again after he warmed up so Nanna could get some photos of us lol. 

We all sunbathed for a bit then watched a group from a sepurate tour try to make a fifteen person pyramid. They failed miserably, they couldn't even get past the first two layers. Then I had an idea to try making a smaller pyrimid with our group but everyone had left by then so me and the Emma's did a three man pyramid which looked really cool. 

Brunette Emma took over the next drive to King Fisher Bay. It was only a short drive but it had massive bumps and hills. Emma also slowed down so she could have some fun speeding up, this time we were behind Tony though. Tony said at one point he thought Emma was going to drive into the back of him!

At King Fisher Bay we sat on the beach and had our lunch in the sun. We were right next to the barge where our ferry would take us back to Hervey Bay. It's crazy how the temperature had dramatically changed from the last two days, the five of us laid down our towels and soaked up every ray we could until it was time to leave the island. 

Neither of the girls wanted to reverse onto the ferry so Chris did it. Once we were all on me and Chris sat down and had a hot choccy upstairs. It took forty minutes to get across to Harvey bay, when we docked blonde Emma didn't want to reverse the car off of the ferry so Chris jumped in the seat again but then they swaped around so she could drive back to the hostel. 

We all had such an amazing time on Fraser Island and left with a buzz. We didn't want the fun to end just yet so a few of us planned to have dinner and drinks together and have a little party tonight. In my mind I wanted a party just like the group we met on our first night in Hervey Bay, so while Chris took one of the cars back to the yard I got us checked back into the hostel and sorted out all our bags. When he got back he met me upstairs. We were in a six bed dorm room in a unit right at the far end of the hostel. It had a huge balcony and was situated above the common room. Downstairs outside was the perfect place for a party. Chris, me, Nanna, the Emma's and Roy jumped in the free shuttle bus to the supermarket and bottle shop. Both shops were closing in half an hour so we were all running around like we were in the game show 'Supermarket Sweep!' Me and Nanna sorted the goon out while Chris and the Emma's got dinner. They decided to make a large Nandos coconut curry with chicken, rice and a salad. When we got back, Chris started cooking straight away and blonde Emma helped him. 

It took ages to cook as nothing bloody worked in the kitchens. They ended up trying two other kitchens before cooking in the third house! Roy laid a table outside using a bed sheet and we had to get cutlery from other units as there wasn't enough in ours. I ran around looking for the stereo but then realised we didn't have one. I asked at reception and the guy said the units don't have stereos. I told him the one we were in last time had one so he said go and ask them for it. I went straight there and explained to everyone we were having a party so I was taking their stereo (It was originally from the common room anyway). 

Everything was ready, the table looked great and the food smelled delicious. It was nice to eat a proper meal together before we started on our boxes of goon lined up at the end of the table. After dinner Roy pulled out a huge tub of ice cream for us all, Chris practically shovelled it into his mouth! Lol. 

We invited everyone else on the tour to join us for drinks before the day ended. Most of the people stayed with us for a few before going to bed. A couple of hours into the goon and we were all pretty drunk! Chris and blonde Emma played pool inside, there were no cues so Chris had a bright idea to pull down the curtain rail and use that as one! Some how it worked until he ended up ripping the felt on the table after telling Emma to be careful lol. 

We carried on drinking for a few hours, blonde Emma fell asleep on the kitchen counter which was funny. I had to wake her up then she joined the party again. Us girls had a good dance together but were mostly clowning about as you do. Me and Chris finished our four litres of goon then he Got free vodka from some guy who was working there! Suddenly he was Chris's best friend. Us girls thought the guy was a bit of a pervert, he had a really creepy stare or maybe that was just his drunk face. 

At one point the two Emma's disappeared. Chris found them passed out on two comfy chairs upstairs so took a photo before waking them up. Roy and Lisa were kissing downstairs then they also disappeared. I went to the toilet and could hear them getting it on in the bathroom. I giggled to myself then ran downstairs to tell the others. Like silly teenagers we all ran back up and had our ears up against the wall laughing at them lol. 

Later on some other people joined our party, one of the girls was a proper pikey and was from a town near to where I live at home. She kept calling me Mitcham instead of my actual name which was really beginning to bug me! Chris turned to me and said it was half three in the morning so said we should go to bed. After having such a good night I really didn't want to be around the girl anymore and let her ruin my night so we packed up our stuff and went to bed.
