After a few days of relaxation, Dad and I decided that it was about time to get off our backsides and do some exploring. We opted to take a tour of Fraser Island. After being picked up in our 4x4 truck at 6.30am by our tour guide Ed, we drove the 2 hours north to Rainbow Beach. After picking up some more members of our group, we took the short ferry ride over to Fraser Island.
Upon arrival, we drove on the beach where we stopped for a short cuppa before heading up to Lake McKenzie. I still can't get over how bumpy it was to drive on sand! So much fun. Lake McKenzie was stunning. The water was crystal clear and beautifully warm, even for me! After sitting on the beach, we headed back up for a delicious lunch cooked by Ed.
In the afternoon, we drove down to the rainforest and took a walk through the famous Eco-system. The colours were amazing but more importantly it was fascinating to watch the steady stream of water which doesn't change pace regardless of the volume of rainfall. I'm pretty sure Dietrich and I were the naughty kids at the back of the class as we constantly held up the group due to our obsessive photography shooting!
On our way back to Noosa, Ed took us for a drive along the beach to show us the sand dunes. The colours and height of these dunes certainly had the wow-factor. They were the perfect end to a great day!

Today was Dad's last day in Aus before he headed back home via Dubai. After leaving Noosa, we drove back to Brisbane via Ranleigh and a couple of towns along the coast. After eating dinner, it was time to bid farewell to Papa as he made his way to the airport. I had such an incredible time with him and will never forget the great adventure we shared! I'm so happy that he could be a part of my worldwide adventure; thank you Dad x
Next stop: Byron Bay
