I believe that whatever one may read about Fraser is not sufficient to give an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is a fantastic place ... off-road four-wheel drive and bus driving on a "road" of sand bordered on one side by sand dunes and the other by ocean waves, on which aircraft take off and land every time you spend on your head while you're driving ... green tropical forests alternate with dunes golden sand and incredible as it seems to grow just so rich vegetation on the sand ... the ocean is dangerous, both x and x via the currents of sharks, jellyfish and other cute animals in Australia, but you can swim in the lakes, which are spectacular ... and then there are the dingo, which like all Australian animals typically still exercise a certain fascination when you see them in their natural environment ...
For three days we cazzeggiano to Hervey Bay, waiting for the weather to improve. There is only one chance to go to Fraser Island x (because the tour is quite expensive) and we certainly did not want to waste it x x blame the rain ... And fortunately there's patience paid off for three days without even a cloud in the sky ...
... The night before departure unite us to the island with six other guys and make us one thousand types of ... recommendations do not go here and do not go there, because if we do not ride in the ocean salt water on the car we keep the $ 1,000 down payment (but who Driving into the ocean ??!!), not feed the dingo (dingo be smart!), what to do if you silt and additional two thousand instructions on how to drive a 4WD, during which I turned off the brain, hoping that someone else would understand even for me (and to unlock and relock it and the gear change depending on whether the sand is hard or soft ... echecasino !!!!).
And so we had a fuchsia-equipped off-road for camping all for us x three days!
The group could not be worse ... assorted three Italians, two Germans (Christoph, we knew for three days, and Lisa, the only girl besides me) and four young Israelis (Dror, Shai, Uvala and Max) but ... we had fun as hell ...
The Israeli boys teased us xl'accento Italian (Vito was nicknamed Spaghetti!) and finally learned all the Italian swear words that exist that were pronounced free-wheeling with no sense logical (such that they crossed another jeep and backpackers are out the window screaming "fuck" or "Holy cow whore") ... never laughed so much ...
Before leaving we had to buy food & drinks for all three days, so we did a really super smart shopping: milk and cereal (and sand!) for breakfast, bread and nutella and bread and cheese for lunch (and I stress for all three meals ... why buy sausage for nine people was too high and cook something that was impossible because you had all the equipment sbaraccare!), bbq on the first night and spaghetti with Bolognese sauce (or sand!) for the second ... case of beer and goon, or lousy and the famous Australian wine that is inside a plastic bag surrounded by a cardboard sleeve (4 liters for $ 9 ... I can imagine how good!).
And so for two nights and two mornings we have assembled and dismantled our tents ... we went to bed early because it's already dark at 5.30, then it stands at 5, the kitchen and then you are sleeping ... we woke up at 7 to meet the times when there is low tide, and then you can drive on the beach ... we laughed a lot ... and we saw amazing places, like Lake Wabbi, Indian Head, the wreck of the Maheno, but above Lake McKenzie ...
But then as always it comes time less sympathetic than the goodbyes ... and everyone leaves for its next destination ...
But the great thing is that although Australia is a huge country, we continue to reicontrare the same people ... First is happened to Hervey Bay, where we met two German guys who have worked with us in Bundaberg and an Italian guy I had met one night in a hostel in Sydney (unsurprisingly!) ... And then it happened again yesterday! We Ribecco all four young Israelis of Fraser Island, which also does not even travel together (and to think that when we parted we said, "See You In Another Life"!) And I met a girl who has worked with me in Sydney ... I could not believe!
Anyway, Hervey Bay after two days we made to Town of 1770, (a small town outside of the world where cell phones do not take anywhere, with two hostels, a supermarket and a beach of almost 5 km we of course we made the whole walk!), Undecided whether or not to make a diving course, that in the end we did not do so because the reef, as we wanted, it was too expensive! But at least we took two days to Cool Bananas, I would say the most beautiful hostel where we were until now, where we met Mikaela Swedish ... notice that the more notice you can not, with more than a year spent in Australia and a lot, but What a lot of stories to tell! Of course once we left the Town of 1770 Ribecco to Airlie Beach, next to our hostel, and filled us with these two afternoons spent together (a little 'playing cards, a bit' making bracelets with beads in a shop that is fantastic here and I definitely want to replication in Italy!).
Yesterday she started towards Cairns, but we're stuck here (in a hostel without a kitchen!) Until next Wednesday, the first available date for the cruise to the Whitsundays Islands
