We spent the last two days at Fraser Island, an island off the coast of Australia near Noosa Beach. It is the largest all sand island in the world and it is perhaps one of the most amazing places we have ever been. It is very close to what I would imagine paradise to be like. We took a 4WD bus, yes bus, through the island up to Lake McKenzie. The lake is purely fresh water from rain water. It has an organic crusted base which is then covered by the most beautiful white sand. THe water is crystal clear and there are no sharks or actually any life form in the lake except maybe some turtles and small fish.
The sand in the lake is good fro exfoliation, washing and conditioning your hair as well as a sort of lake of youth. It is said that swimming in the lake takes 10 years off your life. So we are now 19!!!
woo hooooooo.
We also took a walk into the rainforest of the island which was really beautiful. THe forest was really green but is supposed to be a temperate forest so the ground was covered with pine needles and brown leaves compared to green moss like we saw in Costa Rica. Very cool.
Today we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn!!! The weather has been cooperating and went up 10 degrees C today as we drove across. It is now hotter than hell. We are sweating and in the tropics there is no AC (CRAZY!!!). We are sorry for the compaining about rain.
Tonight we are eating crocodile!! We will post again later.
