We did have plans this day to drive up to the Champagne Pools, then come back down the island, but a car sick child meant that we decided to stop at Eli Creek and declare ourselves done. Our group of friends split into two along who was sick of driving and wanted to settle for… Continue reading Fraser Island: Eli Creek
Why yes, I am stretching this four night trip out into a million blog posts, thank you for asking! We chose this time to stay in Eurong Second Valley. So far we have camped at Central Station, stayed at Kingfisher Bay Resort and Eurong Beach Resort, and this time decided to rent a house at… Continue reading Fraser Island: Eurong Beach

I’m so… Continue reading Fraser Island: Kinnar Sandblow

Our first stop was Lake Boomajin, the largest perched… Continue reading Fraser Island: Lake Boomajin
