Fraser Island
2008-04-27 12:05:00 Fraser Island from Space. It looks like a giant sand spit. Perhaps the biggest attraction on the drive from Brisbane to Cairns is Fraser Island. Fraser Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds the distinction of being the worlds largest sand island. If you look at a map of Australia, you ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Fraser Island", url: "http://everything-everywhere.c-om/2008/04/27/fraser-island/" });
Day 2 (of 2) - Fraser Island 4×4 Safari
2008-01-21 09:17:00 The second day of our tour included inland driving to two freshwater lakes and a rainforest. The last thing I expected to find on the world’s largest island made of sand is a massive rainforest ecosystem, yet I found myself walking for 30 minutes along the banks of a trickling stream in the shade ...

2008-01-20 09:49:00 Touring Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island, by 4×4 is a VERY popular activity in Australia. The gist of it is to either hire your own 4-wheel drive vehicle and camp out in tents on the island for a few nights, or take a guided tour and let someone else do the ...

Places to stay: Noosa
2008-01-09 03:32:00 Ah, Noosa Main Beach. This is where you'd like me describe a beautiful, deserted white sandy shore, fringed with palm trees and a gently lapping turquoise sea. Wouldn't ya? Eh? Well it's nearly all those things, except right this minute.... except right this minute we're experiencing the tail end of Cyclone Helen..so.... Well, during the Christmas holidays anyway, it's more like Benidorm only with better food and less beer bellies. Every possible square centimetre of formerly stunning beach is crammed with semi clad, oiled up Aussies all lying prostrate before the god of skin cancer. When they aren't all squeezed together on the beach like a human tetris game, they're provoking surf rage amongst each other in the sea. Heaven help you if should just want to go swimming. Chances are you'll come out with a fin burn across the top of your head. There is an alternative to this madness though. If you can be bothered to walk just a bit further along the boardwalk, up towards the na...

Queensland Part 1: Brisbane to Fraser Island
2006-06-09 10:00:00 The past 2.5 weeks were full of ego-boosting good fortune. Everything came together as good or better than I could have hoped.Niclas drove me to the airport for the 2 hour flight north to Brisbane. It still seems wild me to me that a 26 hour car trip can be done in 2 hours by plane. I took a shuttle bus down to Surfers Paradise and had the driver leave me at Melbas; one of the top night clubs on the east coast. I looked like an idiot with my backpack on there, so I stuffed it in a bush and went in to find Jeff or Owen so I could get the keys to their apartment. They showed up at 6am after work as the sun was coming up. Later on we hit the beach and got some meat for a BBQ later on. It was a good way to see Surfers Paradise since I would never want to stay there for too long. I took a bus to Rainbow Beach the next morning at 8:35am. This would be the jump off point for 3 days and 2 nights on Fraser Island.Rainbow Beach is pretty quiet. There are 2 hostels, a strip of stores and some...
