fraser island

last week i did my last tour here in australia, a 3 day 4wheel drive safari on fraser island!

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


with sharon @ lake basin


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!)
