Fraser Island

With the work schedule that Jason has of six days a week and 12 hour days, it is extremely nice when he can finally get a long weekend off! After working 3 months and only having one day off a week, Jason was overdue for some time off to relax. Over the weekend of October 5-8, we figured what a better way to spend our time away than at a luxurious resort on Fraser Island. After only a 3.5 hour drive we arrived at the Ferry that took us over to the Island where we stayed for two nights at Kingfisher Bay Resort.

We took a half day tour to Lake Mckenzie and The Rainforest. The lake was absolutely Beautiful and the clearest water we have ever seen. Fraser Island is completely made of sand, which helps filter the water to make it so clean and beautiful.

The road are all sand as well! This was such a fun ride! We were alot luckier than others on the road and didnt get stuck! Jason of course now wants to buy a 4 wheel drive vehicle so he can drive on the sandy roads! :)

When we reached the Rainforest we had a little friend that wanted to hang out with us! Only, you cant be fooled by his innocent face...Dingos are definitely not friendly! Luckily, we were with a large group and he knew he wouldnt stand a chance against all of us, so we just kepy eye contact and showed our dominance and were able to snap a few pictures at the same time. They say to never turn your back on a dingo, that is when they tend to attack. They also want to show their dominance especially with children, so they say to always keep your children close when out in the wild.

This was one of the few unlucky folks we saw get stuck along the way. As you can see, Jason and the others from the bus gave him a little push.

Out to dinner on our last night at the Resort. We debated between the Seafood buffet or the Sand Bar for Pizza and Beer. The deciding factor was that the Seafood Buffet was $85 per person and seeing as I am not much of a Seafood fan, we didn'd feel like it would be worth it!! (Even if I was a fan of seafood...dont think that would have happened!)
