So Hervey Bay to Fraser ISland!! Well first of all HAyley made it along the trip (HAyley if i have not explained is someone we met on our first day from Sydney on the Oz Exp - she's lovely but anyway we left her in noosa) But Chris - the annoying guy in the photos followed her al the way to Rainbow with the intention of coming with us to Frasder - so Hayley decided if she was stuck with him she better stick with us - we are lots of fun after all!!. SO the journey to Hervey was pretty uneventful - I probably slept its the only thing to do on them coache s- they are not the comfiest! We arrived at the hostel at hervey, took advantage of the all you can eat (even if you are 90 stone) pizza and signed up! THat was pretty much it for the evening - by the way i am in thailand at the mo and right n ow pizza sounds amazing totally making my mouth water!)
Anyway next morning (like 6am) everyone got up for a briefing about Fraser Island! There was 15 of us so we got put into 2 groups as the trucks onyl take 10 people max!! Anyway lucky for us Chris was in the other Car! But as it turned out both cars stuck together (fortunately he is much less annoying when there are lots of people) anyway back to it!
We set of to Fraser ISland (in my truck there was me, paul, hayley, Trina and Ian (a scottish couple really nice we met them in noosa) Sanna (a girl from i thik Sweeden) and Frenchie affectionately called so as you guessed it she was french.
Everything was pretty unlucky on Fraser - apparenty the most beautiful and the largest sand island on the planet - but you see it rained a bit and was windy as hell and basically were it ot for the lakes and rainforestlike affect a lot of the time it look like a beach in the uk!!!
Moving swiflty forward as i cant remember very clearly everythin - it already feels like a year ago since i was OZ! Lake Wabi is the most amazing lake i have ever seen - it took ages to drive there (ill talk about he driving in a sec) IT is at the bottom of the massive sand dues that look like the sahara desert! THe lake isteslf is so warm i swear there's some k8ind of heating system, and the pics when i can load them up don't even come cose to show how nice it is!
Right so thats lake Wabi, next we'll move on to Lake Mackensie! Somewhat of a dissapointment! It is beautfical - apparently and also warm again apparently but when we were there it pissed it down!!!! arghhhh PAul ofcourse swam in it - he has basically swam in everything with water except maggie island whcih i will explain later and the sea at fraser which is ful of sharks and jellies!
So the second night was hilarous - we set up camp using tarpauline and the two trucks as shelter from the rain adn wind - the of group went to play cricket in the dark in the rain and our group got out thwe goon (this is wine in a box that is so cheap its revolting and so strong its lethal - as hayley says its the devil juice and she should know) and a pack of cards and huddled together in the truck. About an hour later and poor hayley was not loving the devil juice so much - she was extremeley intoxicated and could't stand up - lets just say there are many times when either me and the girls had to hold her up to pee or me and paul had to hold her up to puke! That sn't even the best of it! She could never remeber being sick, she threw her pasta all over and kept crying - bless her the embarrassment the next day was not good. BUT the best bt is that becuase Chris the really annoying guy kept fussing when she was drunk she had decided to name him the Cricketmaster! (he has the worst hat ever its like a giatn english cricket hat - but basically everythime hayley tried to avaoid him previously he would appear with this hat - like a beacon) anyway Hayley happened to be sick in the bushed Paul was holding her up and i was keep her arms adn hair out of the mess - and chris comes up with wet wipes. Top of her ungs Hayley suddenly scream ( get the f-ing cricketmaster f-ing away from me) i did actually feel sorry for chris he was really good about things but paul nearly dropped hayley in the sick becuase he was laughing so much!!
The next day was def no good the truck/car journey was pretty lethal for poor hayley and et me tell you why - firstly the trucks were these wiered top heavy things that teetered and have been kown to tip very easily, secondly the sand is not good to driveon - you cat get saltwater on the trucks so you have to srive through all these bumpy mounds and thridly the highway - basically a track that look as if it was made by a tremor (filem with KEvin bacon where these hgreratr big worms attack the earth for anyone who hasn't seen it)
Crazy stuff and to top it off no toilet and no shower its all about the baby wipes and shovels out there!!! AND i didn't see a shark from Indian HEad - where you are meant to be able to see them) becuase the weather was so choppy.
All in all one of the funniest trips so far!
