fraser island - III

As the time was running short a little bit today (we had to be at the ferry at two and you do not want to risk anything when driving on these treks here) we decided to check out just one of the many lakes in the centre of the island and enjoy it instead of driving around nearly all the time. So we went to Lake Birabeen. On the way there we of course got stuck several times, but with getting out of the car and pushing and a little bit more power we always got away. Arriving at the lake we thought we were in paradise. We were not sure anymore if Whithaven Beach is more white than this. The others relaxed in the water, but I had to cross this little lake of course. At twelve we went back to the car, took a nice picture and then went on our way back to the ferry. This time we were faster than expected, but better to early than to late. The crossing took a little bit more time and after filling up petrol and air we were already late a little bit and thought we probably might have to pay a late fee. We were back at the shed short past four, took everything out of the car and everything was alright. Nothing broken, not to late, just two bucks for two pegs and a fork we had lost somewhere in the sand. In the evening we had a nice slideshow at Kookaburras before the first people of our nice group left - alltogether a nice tour.
