This is a quick round up of what I tried to keep the kids occupied with during the drive up to Fraser Island (K’Gari), what I thought would work and what didn’t work. First up: ipads combined with these $10 car headrest tablet holders from Kmart. Our oldest has a car seat with speakers build in,… Continue reading Fraser Island: the car trip with kids
We were leaving Eli Creek when I looked at the map and realised that we hadn’t done a visit to the Maheno.

We did this visit after visiting the Kirrar Sandblow, and also stopped at Happy Valley to get an ice block from the shop there. The Happy… Continue reading Fraser Island: Lake Garawongera
