QLD - Day 10-11: Noosa
Our first full day in Noosa was spent on Fraser Island, on a Frazer Island Discovery tour.
A map of our journey to and on Fraser Island!
Not a good start. We come off the first bit of beach and we get bogged! Fortunately this was the one and only time it happened!! We won't talk about the guy in his Toyota Kluger with road tyres and no sand driving experience!!
A short ferry trip...
... to Fraser Island! 'On Ya Jetstar'!
Yes, we're doing the trip in a little style, and with just five of us in our vehicle too. Slightly better than the 4x4 buses we saw taking people round!!
Beach/Road its all the same here! Road rules do apply on the beaches!!
Morning tea stop, with a cup of tea, a cake...
... oh and some champers darling!
Naturally artistic!
These signs are everywhere, unlike Dingos!
Lake MacKenzie is a freshwater lake in the middle of Fraser Island. The water was a little a 'fresh' when we went for a swim, not quite as warm as we thought it might be!
The Land Cruisers!
Joanna on a bush walk!
A Strangler Fig Tree
In convoy on our way back to Noosa!
Afternoon tea at Red Rock!
Joanna's arty shot!
Hmmm!
We spent some of the second day walking around Noosa Heads.
Looking back towards Noosa!

Accommodation Review: Noosa YHA, Noosa, Australia
We stayed in a double room at the Noosa YHA. The room was a great size and very comfortable. The hostel is in an old queenslander style house, so the it has a lot of the original features. Therefore it can be quite noisey, as sound travels through the wooden floor boards and walls. One of the nicest hostels we've stayed in though. The hostel also does great value food.

Trip Review: Fraser Island Discovery, Noosa, Australia
We had a great day out with Mark from Fraser Island Discovery. Although this was a high-end package, it was good value. We had great food throughout the day. Mark was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Fraser. We didn't quite get as far as we thought we would but the company is supposed to be starting two day tours in the near future, which would be very interesting. We'd highly recommend this trip for people who like small groups and the intimate experience of what Fraser Island has to offer.
