Australia, Hervey Bay and Fraser Island

Hervey Bay is the setting off point for trips to the biggest sand island in the world, Fraser Island. The normal backpacker thing to do is a 2 night camping trip where you drive your own 4x4 vehicle around and camp under the stars with the dingos. It was raining when we were there so we opted for a day trip rather than camping in the rain. We went with Fraser Explorer booked through our accommodation. Good tour with great guide, Terry. It's very rushed of course. It takes a while to get there on the ferry and you have a stop for an included lunch and tea. You get to see a beautiful lake and rainforest and drive up and down the main beach to see the sights. Cost was $109 each.
