Indian Head on Frazer Island

Second day on Frazer Island: Indian Head - nice spot














From the top: could see the sharks :) but afterwards we were swimming on the same beach, can't believe it....














BBQ on the beach....eating, drinking, sleeping and a lot of ghost stories under the stars...unfortunately haven't got any pics of a Dingo but have seen them...and their tracks around the tent in the morning 'fricked me out' ;)

Frazer Island

4WD Self-Driving Tour on Frazer Island, France, England, States, Switzerland and Germany...the best tour ever :) no toilet, no shower, no soap :) just nature and you, OK almost, of course there were toilets and showers but nobody used it...after the second day I got used to...the most important thing we wished was a lake, jump in, jump out, clean, keep going....hey it's great to get the feeling "there's less you need to survive and enjoy....sleeping on the beach, under the milkyway, yes I've seen it...never seen the sky that full of stars....

The road - no way to get lost :)

First stop Lake Mc Kenzie

Group Pic..these fucking naughty English guys again :)

Back in the car...big decision making 'where to camp'

Champagne Pools....long long walk - hot sun, no shade, but finally we enjoyed jumping in the ocean pool, well behind the rocks: SHARKS again fucking hell :)














Don't touch it :)



















Ship Wrack on Frazer Island















After Frazer arrival in Agnes Water....that's nice, arrived just in the moment where this guy brought this snake, been found behind the hostelrooms "welcome in OZ"














My first surfing lesson...wow did a lot of "firsts" in OZ, first surfing, first sandboarding, first shark swimming, first sailing, first snorkeling...sweet













Whitsunday Sailing Tour

The first sailing trip: started 2p.m. calm sea, sunshine...but that sounds boring, doesn't it ;) wheather changed suddenly - rough sea...big waves which I've never seen before...adventure trip, half of us became sea sick, fortunately not me...felt in love with sailing, snorkeling....














Calm sea the first day...time for posting ;)



















Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef...my first time and I love it...were swimming with a big big fish called 'Wally' :) 1 meter long and big cude eyes...heaps of little fishes around felt like in a big aquarium





















Arrival at Whitheaven Beach...not as white as usual - too less sunshine, but white enough to say "wow fuckin great"





























Hatten wirklich etwas Pech bei Ankunft am Whiteheaven Beach, denn mit Sonne sieht alles glaenzend strahlend weiss aus...naja die Postkarten Photos schlechthin sind's somit nicht geworden, aber war dennoch fantastisch...Mussten heute morgen frueher abbrechen, Sturm und Flut von der anderen Seite gleichzeitig hat die See unberechenbar gemacht, ich sag Euch 2h Segeln zurueck war ein Abenteuer, hab noch ne so in Schieflage auf nem Boot gehockt festkrallend am Gelaender ;) aber hatten nen erfahrenen Seemann und im Nachhinein, hey allemal nicht langweilig wie mit ner Menge Sonnenschein und keinen Wellen :) nur sind 6 von 12 Seekrank geworden, war natuerlich fuer die der Horrortripp...





















Auch wenn bewoelkt, gigantisch wars trotzem...















Abends hiess es dann:
Sunset, amazing isn't it...
