Started the Whitsundays - sailing trip on a sunny afternoon - I just loved Whithaven Beach, amazing white sand and cristal-clear water, we put our stingersuits on and swam to the beach, did some snorkeling later on and watched shooting stars in the evening in the sky above us, while our captain put some christmas songs on and danced around with a santa-claus-hat. Back in Airlie Beach I couldn't wait to catch my bus down to Agnes Water, I've already wasted to much time in that boring "Gateway-to..." - city. I really loved Agnes Water and Town of 1770, nice small places, lots of things to do there, did a motorbike-tour which was f...... brilliant, unfortunally I had to leave that place way too soon as I had to get to Hervey Bay to catch the ferry to Fraser Island for a 3 days 4wd- safari. We drove along the eastern beach of the island, camped at an aborigini- campsite and had a BBQ while some dingos strolled around our tents. Lake Mc Kenzie was fabulous too, you can drink the water while swimming in it...and I loved the sand dunes we had to cross to get to Lake Wabby. Just returned to Hervey Bay and I'm still trying to get rid of the sand.
