So i am not going to go into details and for those of you who know me and the girls i am sure you will hear our story more than once - but lets just say our journey from Broadbeach to Rainbow beach dd not go to plan. In fact the 3 hour journey turned into a 7 hour journey, where we thought our time was up and could see no way out...... we never dreamed we would still make our Fraser Island Tour... but thanks to some amazing people we made it out alive and made it to Fraser Island. If you are going to Rainbow beach - the manager at Pippies is guite amazing... she literally saved our bacon big time!!

Anyhow, so early morning on the 7th Jan we set off on our Fraser Island Adventure (stiill in shick that we actaully made it) ....

The first day was mainly the beautiful Lake Mckenzie and some rainforest walks and central station with Dingos....

Lake MacKenzie - filled with only rainwater - honestly the most stunning lake i have ever seen...

That night after making some friends with the people on our tour bus Lisa M became the games queen and Amanda did what Amanda does best and bought drinks from the bar at every opportunity...

We started off with Volley Ball, then Pool, then Killer Pool, Then FIVES, then the hand game, then Yee Haa then... oh my i cant rememeber....

needless to say the next morning i was dying..... literally still drunk, and on a bumping bus going over bumpying sand dunes and tracks this was not good!!!

Anyhow the day went on...
day 2 was so much better than day 1....

We drove along the beach in the bus...

And swam in a fresh water creek leading into the sea.

What a day....

We were dropped off at our hostel at 10pm in Hervey Bay, where we spent the night before getting an early Greyhound bus back to rainbow beach the following morning... after spending a few hours at rainbow beach, we headed to brisbane....
