Yep, even more sand

May 13, 2005

The sun came out with a vengeance for our last day on Fraser and after packing up our camp site we headed to beautiful Lake Wabby.
We drove to the lake via the inland track (make the most of the 4x4 car!) and walked down to Lake Wabby from the forest which gave us a great view from the lookout point on the way down. The small freshwater lake (home of some pretty big catfish) sits at the bottom of a huge, steep sand dune which makes for great photos of people running furiously down the hill and diving into the water!
We spent the morning at the lake before driving back across the island to catch the 2.30 ferry back to Hervey Bay.
Despite the rain and having to pay $240 for a new tyre I had a fantastic time. Although I don't think Fraser Island is the biggest sand island in the world... I think that's in my sleeping bag!
