9. Drive a 4WD on the world's largest sand island - Fraser Island!

Day 89 - We have booked onto a 3 day "Tag Along" tour of Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world! We are in a group with 32 others and one guide. There is a convoy of four 4x4 vehicles to help us get around the island for the next few days, with each car only having 4 drivers who are legally allowed (a rare benefit of being over 21 ). As the island is predominantly sand based it is impossible to drive anything other than a 4x4 vehicle. I took the wheels first up getting us onto the island before driving along the beach to where we are staying for the next couple of nights. We stopped off at Lake Mackenzie, a huge freshwater lake in the middle of the island. After waiting for 2 others to drive, Jade finally managed to have a go, and it turned out to be the most difficult and longest drive of the day. Driving over sand is pretty difficult especially over the really soft parts whilst also driving up and down steep hills and Jade was already a pro. For the evening we managed to grab some (warm) beers from one of the only shops on the island. After much digging we managed to find an Eski (cool box) to chill them, so a big group of us headed to the beach, sharing stories under the stars. A great first day on Fraser. . . . . . #fraserisland #nomadsfraserisland #4x4 #offroad #offroading #travelgram #instatravel #iphoneography #iphonephotography #travellingaustralia #oztravel #australiatravel #ultimateoz #ozadventure #starttheadventure #gadventures #lpfanphoto #backpackers #backpackingaustralia #wanderlust #honeymoon #travelcouple #travelshirts #shirtsabroad
