Last year Cath and I took a week off and popped over to Fraser Island. All I can say is "It's Beautiful" . We had great weather, mostly sunny, but, it did rain of a night. Tides suited us as well, High tide was around 8.30 to 9.00am, so that meant, by the time we got up and going tide was going down, and thru the middle of the day plenty of beach.

Enjoy..

We were the only ones on the barge on the trip over and surprisingly the return trip
Image
On the beach just off the barge
Image
Rainbow Gorge, very colourful, we stopped for lunch there, there was a lot of work going on there, I think they were building barriers??

Eli Creek, this trip it was running down beach for about 750 metres before turning and going out to sea. Had a nice swim, and walk up the creek.

Great Place I highly recommend that you all visit it if you get the opportunity

We'll be back the end of August this Year.

All the best

I especially like the ones where there's the KJ in the background... :D

Fraser is definitely going into my 'to do' list!
