| Today was 4-wheel driving day on Fraser Islands infamous beach stretches |
 |
| And as you do, planes just land and take off at random |
 |
| It was a shame it was so cloudy. The incredibly clear and blue water of Lake McKenzie just doesn't come across so well in the photos |
 |
| Maheno wreck |
 |
| The stretch just before Champagne pools |
 |
| So called because when the waves break over the rocks, it looks like champagne! |
 |
| Clear clear water! |
 |
| Channelling our inner whale like echo location |
 |
| It was windy so lets hope the waters are not too choppy for whale watching |
 |
| When you don't have sunnies, goggles will have to do for wind protection |
 |
| Spotting the first set of mother and calf |
 |
| They came very close to the boat! and one swam right underneath it |
 |
| Because whale watching is such exhausting work... |
 |
| Our "share" burger for lunch |
 |
| The plan was to watch the sunset but the clouds never cleared |
 |
| Oh well no reason not to enjoy the seafood spread |
 |
| Spoilt by freshly baked birthday cookies in the morning! |
 |
| It was a day of multiple modes of transport starting off with a plane to Hervey Bay |
 |
| Our transfer from the airport was included but we expect a limousine!!! |
 |
| Once we've checkecd into the main island reception, it was onto a bus to head to the wharf |
 |
| A little boy enjoying all the modes of transport |
 |
| It was then onto the ferry to Fraser Island! |
 |
| It was windy outside! |
 |
| Our last transfer, a trolley to take us from the pier to the hotel building itself |
 |
| The swamp behind the pool, turn around and you see... |
 |
| this! |
 |
| Happy hour! |
 |
| Jonah's birthday meal. A bush tucker inspired menu. |

 |
