Fraser Island Road Trip

Posted on by

Fraser Island is a magical place. 4 of piled into a Prado and drove from Mackay down, some serious km but totally worth it. We were there for March, was a bit overcast but mostly great. Swam in all the usual places, got to do some fun 4WDing, was one of the first camping trips that Claire and I did together. Traveling with four in the car is great fun, always able to give the driver a rest, had some good chat.


I loved those sunnies, haha.


Great place to swim


Stuck my camera in a lake and took a snap… worked pretty well!

First Airlie Fishing Trip

Posted on by

This was an interesting one! Judda’s motor had been in the shop forever so we decided to go to a remote creek, launch and use the tide to drift down and back. We thought it would look bizarre, having a motorless boat, but when we got there the ramp was so muddy it was impossible to use…. unless you had a motorless boat!

One person had actually removed theirs so they could launch, most turned away.

We got a lot of Bream, this was back when I was a Victorian at heart and was really impressed by Bream.

Got some crabs too, Judda made me handle them… I had youtubed how to do it, but obviously not very well as they took a notch out of my finger!

Fun on the Great Walk

Posted on by

The Great Walk is a trip in airlie, 33km from memory, an amazing bushwalk where you come out right in the middle of town.

I saw a massive python sunning itself on the trail, I threw a stick near it to wake it up! It saw me and got scared and left.

I also remember dropping my camera from the bridge into the river, fortunately it was shallow and a shockproof waterproof camera.


I used to be skinny!
