[#80] OZ Trip: // Day 4 // -- 8th Aug (Sun.) Sunshine Coast 2
Woke up around 5:30am to take this tour to Fraser Island! Woohoo! A mini bus with maximum 6 people + driver, left our hotel in the twilight without too much noise. It was a long drive indeed. And Simon and I were sitting at the back seats so wasn't too comfortable to have a too long drive but luckily we stopped in the middle and other people exchaged seats with us so wasn't bad at all. Together in the car were two married couples, one mid-aged from OZ and one elder from U.S.
Tea-time! Having a break after driving half and hour by the sea, with huge, red or I'd rather say, colourful rocks on the other side. Time for breakfast! And by the way you can figure the average age of the 'tour' by yourself can't ya? FYI- we were obviously the only (proud) gay couple there 
This guide guy drove really fast, and also good skilled too.
But those sand-based 'race courses' were just not that flat. We kept bumping up and down in the car and sometimes burst out laughing because of some really severe jumps.
...Roller Coaster Fun...
Anyway the scenary was beeeeautiful from two sides of the car windows and we had really good chat. So it was worth the bumps! 
)
Then sailing time! The boat took us to where our final stop was. It felt really nice when the boat pulled away with us and our cars on it and leaving the island where we came from behind.
This pic was taken from the car when we got off the boat and carried on the journey into the forest park on Fraser Island. I shook my hands and the trees got all blured and road twisted...
And also it became one of my favorite fotos.
Don't you agree it's kinda ...noice?
Here we went into the forest.
According to the guides:
Those things lived on the earth for 2500 years!
DAMN THEY ARE OLD!
The sand down there is famous of there pureness that they can be used to wash jewelleries.
Grandma's jewelleries of course!
The whole forest was amazing, the trees were huge and Simon was afaid of snake falling on his head. LOL! The foto on the right is the place people used to see lots of Dingos...which were mostly shot dead because they were thought to be dangerous coz they bite. But hey even pandas bite! Anyway you can't even see a shadow of that original animal when your are touring here any more.
Oh the beach! Fianally we got to the beach. Great sunshine, cool breeze and beatiful beach! Water was cold and...SOMEONE didn't know where to get changed!
Sun-bathe was only for 20 min coz we had this BBQ...yeeeah! Wanna some OZ beef!? Later I knew how burnt I was merely 20min under the OZ sun!
Little business-use plane on the island and some bush-fire we spotted when we left the island on the boat.
Left is the natural colour of the mud on the island, right was after some children throwing some rocks into it.
Oh! Did I mention that it was already 4pm and it's time to go home (takes two hours) and chill out in the room getting some room service and watch Australian Idol? ;o)
And for this trip I also bought a digi-cam, my new baby, so take a look and check out the site!
