Fraser Island - Day 1

On Monday we woke up early to prepare our car with food and camping equipment for the next three days. Afterwards we started our tour!
First with the ferry over the ocean. It took only 15 minutes.

We arrived on the biggest sand island and drove along the coast first for a while first. It was amazing. We took our lunch and walked through a rainforest but the highlight was the Lake Mckenzie. It's one of the many fresh water lakes there with crystakl clear water. Beautiful! Sky was cloudy though, it would have looked so much cooler with the sun shining...

The water in there is supposed to clean jewellery. Don't know if it's true ^^

For the night we set up our camp at the beach. Sounds romantic and nice but sand was everywhere, no toilet, no shower and dingoes everywhere. The dingoes on Fraser are the purest, e.g. not cross-breeds with domestic dogs. They are related to dogs. As tourists kept feeding them, they became lazy to hunt and started stealing food from the tourists. Because of that they came very close to our camp from time to time to look for food. They can be aggressive when provoking them, our guides told us to not show fear. Haha, good advice for me...of course I was scared! There has been attacks from the dingoes in the past, so better not come near them...
