Sorry for not posting new photos for a while. Wifi is becoming a little harder to find now (and a bit expensive when we do find it). So we have three batches of photos this time!
After leaving the Blue Mountains, we flew up to Byron Bay and the beautiful beaches. We took a surfing lesson one of the days – Amanda had a bit more luck than I did – but neither of us will be surfing superstars anytime soon! The first morning there, we woke up for the sunrise. I know there are “a lot” of pictures of the sunrise, but we just couldn’t narrow them down any further. We liked all the pictures too much!
After Byron Bay, we took a bus up to Noosa and left on a Fraser Island tour the next morning. The weather wasn’t the greatest, but we had a really good group and made the most of it. We still got to see most of what Fraser Island had to offer – just not the bright blue skies and warmth we were hoping for. Fraser Island is almost completely sand with many fresh water lakes and rain forests.
We returned from Fraser Island and had a couple of days in Noosa. Lots of relaxation and a great walk through Noosa National Park. Many more beaches and “ocean life”. Next we are off on an overnight bus to Airlie Beach and a sailing trip through the Whitsundays Islands.
You can see all the new photos here.

Fraser Island is in fact all sand, it is the largest sand island in the world. You were unlucky with the weather if it wasn’t good as it is, normally, very predicably good. Maybe you’ll have time to re-visit someday. The islands uniqueness is what makes it such a popular holiday destination, particularly amongst the 4wd world where Fraser Island is regarded as being suitable for those with even limited four wheel drive experience
