Dugong Beach Trip
A good friend of mine was having a 30th, so they decided to do a camping trip at Dugong Beach on Whitsunday Island. It is home of the famous Whitehaven Beach, but it is a huge island, and one isn’t really accessible from the other. “Damn” I thought.
Well I turned out to be wrong. It was, and still is, the best place I have camped. The beaches were amazing, great sunset, fishing (I only managed a small bream, despite the all the effort), crabbing, a great bushwalk up to a lookout that could only seen to be believed.
Not trying to sound conceited but the photos taken are not photoshopped in anyway, taken on the “auto” setting of a Canon Powershot D10. It looked way better than they seem.
And the trip was great, great chat, lots of people, everyone just having a ball. How could you not? The place was paradise.
Sunset fishing, I just got a bream

Trying to remember this far back is hard, it is 2015 as I write it
We did the great walk which was a lot of fun
Had a good time as usual
Pretty late in April so colder than normal

Very slowly getting in
Fraser Island Road Trip
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!
