g'day, bet you didnt expect such a quick journal entry. Writing from Hervey Bay, a stop off... but a really nice one.... to Frazer Island. Unfortunately the weather is at its tropical worst and is raining and cloudy, not great for a 4x4 trip round Frazer Island, but on the plus side it is still really warm.
First things first, the dive on the Barrier Reef was cool. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations, although i dont think it ever could. I think its cos i dived in Thailand and it was absolutely amazing there. When I say dive i mean snorkell, so diving on the reef was amazing. The sensation of breathing underwater was wicked. I will definitely do it again. We travelled down from Cairns to Airley beach, where we saw no other person than Jamie Bannasik!!!! For people who don't know him, i doubt there are many, he lives in Lymington, so as everyone says, the world is a very small place. My old waitrose buddy.lol. He is living on a boat, working as a lifeguard, living it up. He has it pretty good right now, everyone he lives with is awesome and the place is lovely. His tan is coming on.lol.
From Airley beach we took a boat round whitsunday islands, went to whitehaven beach and snorkelled off hook island, where we saw turtles. It was awesome, on Whitehaven beach the sand is so fine that it squeaks when you step on it. It is pretty awesome. We went out for the evening with Jaime round town, which was cool and then the next day spent nothing at the lagoon. It was a pretty bad weathered day but was nice to chill out and relax before catching the overnight bus to our current place, Hervey Bay. We met our group who we are travelling with, it is a self drive 4x4 tour, so should be fun. We stay at an aboriginal village for one night,should be interesting.
Anyway, I will tell you how Frazer goes if i dont get killed by dingoes or eaten by a shark on frazer. I never told you about it, it is the largest sand island in the world, has world heritage status, its seas are inhabited by man eating sharks, it has fresh water springs and lakes in the middle, so fresh you can drink the water in them, apparently it tastes better than bottled water. So yeah it sounds pretty good.
love to you all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
