Fraser Island

Well we've just come back from a fantastic long weekend at Fraser Island with Mike, Kate, Jess and Abbey. We stayed at an excellent house called "Marloo" which is up at Orchid Beach (so approx 1 and a half to 2 hours drive up Fraser Island - possibly 200klms).

The kids thought it was fantastic swimming at Waddy Point and Marloo Bay.

We almost had a plane land on us Friday afternoon when we were driving up there!! I've got it on video!! I'll try download it to the blog.

And we saw so many dingoes - we have never seen that many before, and Ben got some fantastic close ups of them.

Monday afternoon we left at 1.30pm, got to Eli Creek about 2.30pm, stayed for half a hour so the kids could have a swim and then headed to the Barge - only to have Dominic throw up in the car!! Made the 4pm barge, washed the cars at Rainbow Beach, had a quick dinner there, left at 6.30pm and got home at 9. So a long day but still a great time.

Lots of laughs, lots of sun, food and drinking.

It was Mum's birthday on Australia Day too - so we called Mum to wish her a happy birthday. She sounds like she had a nice weekend.
