A Full Day And Night Of Frasier's Island

This morning we got picked up in two 4x4 large trucks which would transport us to Frasier's Island.  The trucks had to drive on the beach in order to get to our destination.  We spent most of the day sightseeing the beach and rainforest.  The roads through the rainforest were very bumpy.  So if you get car sick, make sure you take a motion sickness pill beforehand.

The sand is considered red and gold



Sitting in the way back with these crazys made the experience more bumpy


We parked the trucks on a ferry that we had to take across to get to our destination.  We were able to get off the truck and check out the view.

Hello Mark!!
We did a hike through the rainforest, and the tour guide led us to a lake area where we stayed for a few hours where we got a tan and swam.  Afterwards we were provided a buffet style Australian lunch.  Steak finally.  And it was pretty good if you ask me!



We headed to our camp ground called King Fisher Bay Resort, the setup was 5 rooms per cabin.  Within the cabin it was mixed with guys and girls and two separate bathrooms for each sex.


Everyone got all dressed up for our activities which the theme was Hawaiin style.  Before we had dinner everyone went down to the beach to sip on drinks and watch the sunset.  Afterwards we headed to the nearby campground restaurant.





Time for the fun.  Some people painted their faces with fluorescent paint colors.  After the pre paint party, everyone walked over to the dingo bar and had happy hour.  The place had a live DJ, and a dance floor as well as an upstairs lounge area.  People were drinking and having the time of their life.  Can't ask for more than that.

Brisbane To Noosa

After a nice morning in Brisbane we made our way up to Noosa.  We were taken straight to the Noosa beach.  The town was very small and had lots of cute little local beach shops and a few bars and restaurants.  Everyone went down to the beach and got a tan, seemed like tons of people were out.  Lots of people surfing, boogy boarding, standup paddling, and swimming.

After the beach we headed to the hotel to get our stuff situated and prepare for dinner. The rooms were set up like a townhouse.  There was a washer and dryer, full kitchen, living room which had a pull out couch and cot.  And one private bedroom with a queen size bed and nice closet.

We headed out to dinner shortly after.  We had dinner in town, at a local bar that had a special room in the back set up for us.  These meals were preplanned.  I had the chicken parmesan which wasn't bad, but definitely not my mothers cooking, he he.  It was an early night since we had to get up early the next day and be picked up by our transportation to head to Frasier's Island.  Good Night.

After leaving Surfer's Paradise we headed to Brisbane for the morning.  When we arrived in Brisbane we were dropped off in front of the Treasury Casino which is located in the heart of downtown Brisbane.  We checked out all the shops downtown, and needed to buy an outfit and accessories for beach night in Frasier's Island.  After that I made my way over the bridge to the Queensland Museum in South Bank that is three stories high.
