Fraser Island

We have been on Fraser Island on a Safari tour with a 4WD bus, look!
Here i am standing in front of red Canyon at the  Teewah Coloured Sands, Cooloola national Park. The sand is red because of rost. The oxidation is about 40.000 years old. When you go down at the beach the sand is more beige/yellow.
To come out to Fraser Island, we had to take a car ferry direct from the beach. There was no harbor, no streets, just sand and water and this special ferry.   
 
Fraser Island Ferry crossing - Inskip Point to Hook Point.
When arriving at Lake Makenzie, we saw a lizard in the sand.

Here we take a swim at lake McKenzie. The water is absolutely fantastic with a temperature of 24 degrees and all is raindrops.

This plant has been the same since the dinosauries walked on earth.

After a swim at the lake, we went an a walk in the jungle. The chauffeur told us that these trees could be as high as 40 meters. They used this kind of trees to build the Panama canal.

When driving back on the beach via Eurong and through Sandy forest tracks, we saw wild dingos at the beach. 
On this piece of wood, you can see a White breasted Sea Eagle.

Our way of transportation.
