I have just got back from Fraser Island which was brilliant and unlike anything I have done before as it was all self guided in our own 4 by 4 van. Fraser island is a huge sand dune island that has rainforest growing out of the sand dunes so its pretty uniqiue. When I got to Rainbow beach all the people that were going on a trip had a meeting to explain what rules we should follow, how to drive on the island and what to do when camping.
