Post subject: | Fraser Island, Australia |
Thought I'd share a couple of pictured from a recent trip. Fraser Island is one of those "Must Visit" destinations if you're an Australian 4WDer and I'm lucky enough to live just a few hours away from the island that I visit it at least once a year. It's the worlds largest natural sand island and is just beautifull. Miles of pristene beaches, amazing fishing and if you venture inland you're surrounded by breathtaking rain forests and freshwater lakes..... just watch out for the Dingoes... we train them to keep tourist numbers down ![]() I wish I had more of the island scenary itself but had some camera issues. ![]() This is the Maheno Shipwreck on the Eastern side of the Island. ![]() Bit furthur out so you can see it's size. ![]() I towed a camper trailer on this trip. I was a bit worried as it was my first time I'd towed one in soft sand but the KK didn't get bogged once. ![]() ![]() That's my silly mate on the right getting a ticket for speeding on the beach. tsk tsk, hadn't slowed down from 80KPH to 40KPH through this popular tourist section and the cops were waiting. ![]() ![]() Here's a video of me going through notorious Indian Head Bypass. Do a YouTube search of it and you'll see countless people getting bogged in the soft sand. People setup chairs and have a few beers watching the carnage. The KK made it through both times unscathed thankfully. You'll have to excuse my paniky wife in this vid... for some reason she thinks a car is always about to jump out in front of us when we go 4WDing >< http://youtu.be/8yCBAJ45XaM Enjoy. |

I wish Australia had an Air Force base I could go do...I would go there in a heartbeat. The closest I can get with my career is Guam. |

Looks like a fantastic adventure with plenty of blokes to help get unstuck if needed. RenegadeKC wrote: I wish Australia had an Air Force base I could go do...I would go there in a heartbeat. The closest I can get with my career is Guam. There is always liaison and embassy work ![]() |

The rod sits on the raised section of the bonnet bra, is tied to the bar / ariel and then the end tip was just zip-tied to my Jerry Can on the roof.... not fancy but it did me for this trip until I buy a proper rod holder ![]() |
