Day 46 Fraser Island last day HUNGOVER

22nd November 2008



Hangover



Day 46



I have never woken up so drunk in my life. Woke up in the tent and felt so ill. Oh it was awful. I'm definately not driving today.



Everyone was so nice though. I slept in the van whilst they had breakfast, made the sandwiches for lunch and put the tents down.



We went to Eli Creek today. It was nice and involved minimal effort. Then we went to Lake Wabby. We had to walk 1.8km to get to Lake Wabby through woods and 1km over sand dunes. I thought I wasn't going to make it. It was awful! The walk that is, not the lake. The lake was cool. Went swimming in it, which helped to sober me up a bit then joined everyone in a run down the hill and jumping into the lake. It was so fun! Then I decided to walk up the hill and roll down horizontally. As I was feeling a little better it seemed like a great idea at the time. I didn't feel too good after I did it.



The walk back was easier but the drive to the ferry off Fraser Island was over all the tree roots and bumpy roads. Not good.



Tim and I had a gaytime. My attention was first brought to gaytimes during a TV commercial. Gaytimes are a make of ice cream over here. There catchphrase is 'it's so hard to have a Gaytime on your own'. Seriously.

Fraser Island 2nd Day

Day 45

Lovely weather today!

We went to a place on Fraser Island called Indian Head. It was the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. We could see the mantarays in the sea from where we were standing. Took some pics then accidentally trod on my glasses when I left them on the floor. Clever. It was strange though as usually I'd be pissed off when things like that happen, but I really didn't care. I'll find some glue one day and fix them.

We all then went to a place called 'Champagne Pools' and had a swim. The salt water irritated a rash on my neck though and it stung like hell.

All the people I am with are so cool. There is Jamie, Tim, Lucy, Laura, Jess, Anna and Connie. When we got back to the campsite we had lunch and then me Jamie and Tim went to chill on the beach for a bit with some goon (cheap wine). It was fab. There were these huge fies around us though that bite and we had to defend ourselves by swatting them with flip flops whenever they came near to us.

We went back to the campsite for dinner then we all strolled down to the beach again where we were drinking under the stars. We went for a paddle in the sea and all of this plankton were sparkling around our feet! It was surreal.

This guy Tim who is from England too is like my best bud here. He is so funny and I am having the best time here.

Day 44 FRASER ISLAND

20th November 2008

Fraser Island Baby!

Day 44

Up nice and early as I'm going to Fraser Island today! A few of payed rock, paper, scissors to see who would be the first driver and I won so got to drive from the rental place to Fraser Island. It was so cool. Got there and visited some beautiful lakes. It was fab.

We aimed to be at the campsite for about 5pm ish but we got lost. Driving on the beach for ages we didn't know where the turning was and it was raining and getting dark. Then the thunder and lightning started. The lightening was PINK! We saw a giant turtle too.

After driving on the beach for ages we came to the conclusion that we must have missed the turning so turned around and drove back down the beach and just picked a turning that we found. The car got stuck in the sand so we had to get out and push it in the rain. When the car started and got out of the sand rut we all cheered and jumped in. We drove up this random turning for a while and agreed that even if it was the wrong place we'd stay here anyway. It was dark, wet and we were all getting hungry.

Turned out that it was the right turning! The people at the site weren't too impressed that we were (very) late. It was dark, still thunder and lightning, raining and we had 2 tents to put in. The tents were stupid. Stupid, stupid tents. Some bits were missing and sand kept getting into the poles and they took ages to put up.

We were hungry in the rain trying to put 2 stupid tents up - and it was so much fun! All of it. No one got moody or angry or anything and we all had a laugh. After the tents were finally up we had a BBQ and chilled drinking wine in the slighty wet tents until we fell asleep.
