we all met in our hostel in hervey bay the night before departure, where we had a briefing and saw some video's to prepare & warn us, for dingo's amongst other things.
the next morning we left the hostel at 7 am, to go to the camp & car hire thing, where we got our car and all our camping gear. from the hostel we got huskies with our food & we bought some beer & goon there as well, which prooved to be very much needed!
here's the 3 days in photos:
day 1 wednesday june 20th
these signs were everywhere!
me always enjoying nature, same in this rainforest

we camped in the wild, next to the beach, and this hole that everybody's standing around was a very important part of our camp (yes, our toilet!)
