After the nice flights, we took the slow ferry to Fraser Island:

After dinner, we went for a night walk ranger led tour:

Around our eco hotel rooms, there was quite a bit of wildlife: water monitor, snakes, loads of spiders, and birds:

The next morning, we went for a 4WD tour of the island in a big bus:

fresh water lake

the roads are interesting, soft sand makes it more difficult to drive

sometimes it felt like we were on a boat :)

We finished with a nice fresh water stream emptying in the ocean:

We tried to go on a whale watching tour, but after 5H of rough sea, we didn't see a single one, which is super rare, so we got our money back although we sadly wasted a lot of time:

So, we went ona 4H walk in the afternoon. Sadly we spent most of our time dodging mosquitoes and didn't have much to show for it:

lots of snails as tide was getting lower

interesting green worms

Before long, on our walk back, we got our private sunset:

The next morning, we went to see the little soldeier crabs before heading out:

plenty of them

they make a pile of sand and hide under it, they're quite skilled

a army of them

I'm assming they get eaten by birds

Solider Crabs are really fun to watch, here's a video to show you:

And that was it for our last location, Fraser Island.
