Australia - Rainbow Beach

Arrived on Tues 5th at Rainbow Beach. I travelled up on the coach with Jack and Stacey who I had met at Noosa. The beach at Rainbow Beach was still pretty dirty from a cyclone that had hit a week before I arrived. From Rainbow Beach most travellers go across to Fraser Island for a 4x4 adventure for 2 nights. Everyone is given a compulsory safety video for the island which mentions the dingos, safe driving and the shark invested water surrounding the sand island.

4 4x4s go across and each seat 8 people including a driver. The lead car is driven by the tour guide with the 3 tag along vehicles following. As long as your 18+ and have a driving license you can drive. I was put in Team B with Jack and Stacey from England, Robert from Sweden, Christiaan from Holland, Anna from Germany, Greta from Italy and Laura from France... So a right mix in our car!

We were up at 7am on the Thursday for pancakes and to pack our vehicles and head for the ferry.
