Our first stop was colored sands. All of what you see in the pictures is sand, not rocks. Fraiser Island
Fraiser Island is the largest sand island. And very hard to get too we learned while planning our excursion. We tried many various options we thought might be available to us but after a couple of hours of work we found out the cheapest and easiest route would be to go there part of a tour group. The tour picked us up at 6:40 am in the bloody morning! I swear I ended up getting up earlier while on VACATION then I do when I am at home. It was just not fair.........
Our tour guide for the day was Malcolm. A very cheerful man at 6:40 in the morning I'd say. We went over the Noosa River on a ferry so that we could drive up the 40 mile beach. Yep you heard correctly. A beach. The only way to get to Fraiser is to drive on a beach to get there. There are no roads per se that will take you to the ferry that will take you to the island.

Then we stopped at the first shipwreck we would see on this trip. The Cherry Venture. It is said that during a storm the captain decided that the best course of action was to ram into the shore to save his crew. Now she sits full of graffiti with a hot dog stand by her side.
There was a section of the beach called The Rocks. These are coffee rocks that are embedded in the sandy beaches. Depending on the time of day and where the tide is they are sometimes impassible. That was the case on this day. We ended up taking the River Trail to get to the ferry to take us to Fraiser. It was very bumpy and very slow going.
All of Fraiser is sand. The only vehicles that can travel within and along the beach are 4 wheel drives. The beach on Friaser IS a major highway. All travel is determined by the tides. In the interior the sand is very loose and bumpy. Along the way to our first destination we saw many tress and fauna.
This is a fig tree that has a straggler vine attached. After hundreds of years the strangler vine will eat the nutrients of the tree and it will die and then decay. After the decay all that will be left standing are the stranglers vines with a hollow center.
Our first destination was Lake McKenzie.
After the lake we traveled to Central Station, where I took lots of pictures of trees, creeks, and even a dingo.
Attempt to tak epicture of Christopher standing on a crossing over Wool creek.
This tree reminded me of Alien, the movie. 
Sleepy Dingo.
At Central station we found out that to camp we had to bring in our own gear. This was not something that we had prepared for so camping went out of the picture at that point. After Central Station we returned to the hotel to determine what our lodging options would be for the remainder of our trip.
Lucky us we got to stay there the whole 3 nights.
YAH! So we stayed with the tour group and wondered off to Lake Wobby. To get to the lake there are 2 different trails. The desert trail and the forest trail. To the lake we used the desert trial and from the lake we used the forest trail.
Upon walking up to the lake there are 2 different landscapes. There is nothing but desert sand on one side and on the other a lush forest. Christopher turned around to pose for this picture with the lake and forest in the background.
Walking back to the bus from Wobby lake I captured this view of the ocean.
Dinner that night we got sat with some women from Germany and spoke with them. Then they had Karoake on the Island! I sang one song and then bedtime for me.
