Yes we actually drove this car around the biggest sand island in the world!
Started off loading all our stuff - food, tents etc onto the roof (so the dingoes don't get to it!) and getting the ferry over to Fraser Island even tho I swore blind I was never getting on a boat again! There were 8 girls in the 4x4 and only one guy who couldn't drive so he spent most of his time on the roof chucking our stuff down while the girls did the driving! It really is proper 4x4 driving as well! Have to say we did get stuck a few times but its all part of the fun apparently..
After a bumpy start we made it to Lake Mackenzie - huge freshwater lake in the middle of the Island and plently of white sand. then accross the island to eat at the campsite then camp on the beqach. First night camping was interesting with everyone on the lookout for the dingoes that live on the Island!
Next day up to Indian head to spot sharks and stingrays from the lookout then onto the Champagne Pools - the only safe place to swim in the sea - like a massive rockpool with flippin sharp rocks I can tell you! So after driving past the point we were not supposed to and having to be towed out we did the camping thing again and even saw a dingo!
Last day involved trekking to another lake - can't beat swimming in a warm lake in the rainforest while it's raining ?
Fab trip absolutely loved it and the driving! Bit more hardcore than we expected but real fun!
