the whole family (cousins, aunts, uncles, granparents,…) came along. We went on a one day tour, which is definitely not enough time to appreciate the place. To get to Fraser, you go from Noosa the major part along the beach heading north for about 100km. Once we get there, we have to take a barge across from the mainland to get to the island, and have to have a 4 wheel drive as the entire island is made only of sand, but is covered with various types of vegetation, from rain forest to open grass land, with some enormous trees.
On the beach we were lucky enough to come across a couple of Dingoes which was really great to see.
We went up to Lake McKenzie, which is a fresh water lake at the top of one of the sand mountains. The water stays in there by plant sediment / mulsch that has collected over hundreds of thousand of
years (if not more, the tour operator did mention it but I wasn’t listening all the time).We swam in the lake which is really beautiful and clear and then went for lunch. We then went to what is called Central Station which was and old logging center. There are some rain forests there and a 1000 year old fern.
We headed back to Noosa and arrived at about 17:30, completely exhausted.My Sister and her husdand Jacque arrived a bit later after flying up from Melbourne.
