Fraser Island 15th-16th December and Mon Repos

We hired a two seater soft top four wheel drive for two days and went over to Fraser Island. It was good fun but was very bumpy on all the sand roads.

We swam in the gorgeous Lake McKenzie and saw the wreck of the Maheno on the 100km long beach. We didn't see any Dingoes, only their tracks.

A couple of days later we visited Mon Repos to watch turtles laying their eggs; we were in the last group and didn't get called until 11.30pm. We saw a Loggerhead Turtle come up the beach and lay her 138 eggs and then go back to the sea. She had laid the eggs below the highest high tide line so we got to relocate them further up the beach. By 2.30am we got to bed!
