Hey everyone. Thought I would share some pictures from a week long Fraser Island trip that I just got back from. Had two Bajas and my Baja bus, plus a few waterboilers.
Happy to say that the bus went everywhere on the island and did all of the hard tracks. Was very impressed with how it performed.
On the barge.
Parked up at Eli Creek.
Heading north through Ngkala Rocks South Bypass track.
Lighthouse at Sandy Cape.
Lake Garrawonga.
A few old wrecks for Keith. Check out that bullbar!
Bit of a hillclimb up the the old Tower.
Nice view from up here!
You can see the old aircraft hanger. The runway is all overgrown.
And we found this written on one of the posts inside!!

A few more.
Lake McKenzie.
Looking at the turtles at Lake Allom.
Out to the west coast for a swim.
Coming back the Awinya Creek track.
Sign at Champagne Pools says it all.
Awning city back on the west coast again.
View from Lake Wobby lookout.
Lake Birrabeen, this is my favourite lake.
Packed up ready to head home.
A couple of tag-a-longs!

Does anyone know of something like this in USA? A wide variety of trails and beautiful scenery and of course a place to cool off for a swim.
