Part 9 - Fraser Day 2

Our second day on Fraser Island took us to Lake McKenzie - the biggest and most popular lake on the island. The road to McKenzie is quite bumpy but our CRV did well to get us there. Since it was overcast when we arrived, we decided to trek around the lake. At one point you can take a short cut but you have to tread through water (see below). On the bumpy return trip to the resort Adam lost consciousness - only a child can sleep like this!



We stopped in our hotel to refuel and found this friendly gecko hanging out in our room. One more hike, this time around Rainbow Gorge, and a drive along the beach before we called it a day.



Next morning we left early to catch the ferry at Hook Point at the south end of the island. We thought we were in the clear once we got on the ferry but probably the most treacherous driving was at the beach back on the main land. We had a huge sigh of relief once we hit asphalt. Fraser was a super experience - a very friendly place to visit. We only got bogged twice and within a couple of minutes people would come to the rescue without a second thought.
