The Dingo Took My Baby!

The Dingo took their baby?!! Well, who knew that was a real story?! Apparently it happened on Fraser Island and the parents were blamed and sent to jail! Crazy! I just thought it was a stupid line from some show (it is used in The Simpsons a few times me thinks!)

So we are back from Fraser Island and what a wonderful time we had! We did a guided tour with Cool Dingo (take note anyone who's interested!) and our guides name was Peter "Danger" Meyer (request him by name - he's awesome!) We stayed in a lodge with 8 other girls(Ireland, England, Germany, Finland and Denmark) so we finally got to gossip about celebrities and complain about men! (Karen and I were complaint-free of course!)

Animals we saw: Guannos, Dingoes, HUGE Spiders, Turtles, Sharks, Sting Rays, Gekkos and a harry shirtless boy from England!

Things we did: swam in some freshwater lakes and creeks (you can't swim in the ocean here because of the sharks and jellyfish), hiked through the rainforest over 10K, walked over a huge sand dune, boogie-boarded down a sand dune into a lake, climbed Indian Head to look down into the ocean and saw a pod of turtles doing their thing and a large shark.

Sunday morning we got poured on while on top of the huge sand dune and the guide wanted to get us somewhere sunny for lunch so he took us to part of the island we weren't supposed to be at and we sunbathed, dried off and ate lunch. He got spotted and got in trouble for being there (was supposed to pay $50 per head = $2000 but he thinks he'll get off) We lifted the mood by playing some sing along songs on the bus and had every country doing the YMCA! It was a good time!

After the 3 days we headed back to Hervey Bay and met everyone form the tour and partied together all night! It was great.

I'll have to post some pics when I find a place that will let me - they are hard to come by sometimes! Check back again!
