The first few days at Rainbow beach were spent getting ready for tent camping on Fraser. Manfred had to dig all our camping gear out of the caravan first then unpack the car, and repack it. Then we were off to beautiful Fraser!
On Fraser, we stayed in the bush at the Central station campsite, very nice spot. We setup the tent to sleep and a little flyscreen tent next to it where we used to eat, away from the mozzies. Nina and Annabelle liked the tent a lot.And then just imagine...It was dark outside, the moon is out, and suddenly you hear a dingo howl that seemed pretty close! Luckily the campsite was fenced in.
Lake McKenzie was closed unfortunately but we found another lake (Lake Birrabeen) that was as nice. Nice clear water. Annabelle happily swam in it. I think she thought she was in the Fiji pool again!
We were most impressed by the girls the next day when they walked about 2.5 kms return to the Lake Wabby! It was well worth it. Amazing dune by the lake.The girls didn’t mind the slow bumpy drive through the forest at all. But I think the Toyota was happy to have a bit of a rest and drive along the beach sometimes. On the coast we saw a few things: the Maheno shipwreck, the colourful sands, Eli creek (Nina will long remember it as she tried to catch tiny baby frogs with her hands, she loved it!).
One evening we were lucky as we saw a dingo on the beach.
Those 4 days on Fraser were very enjoyable. The weather was very nice too, so that helped too.
