Fraser Island, Australie (Fraser Island, Australia)







6-11 Octobre 09 - Sur Fraser Island - Fraser Island et le Savannah Way sont ma region prefere dans l'Australie. Les 4x4 routes sur le Fraser Island sont la plus difficile que j'ai ete sur dans l'Australie. Il a les routes sauvages!!! Kate, 4x4, a accompli l'ile. En bas, en haut, en bas, en haut... Les choses dedans le 4x4 a rebondi la plupart du temps. Beaucoup de 4x4 rester coincé dans le sable moins fort. Beaucoup de gens n'avont pas de experience avec 4x4. Un personne a su faire les roues a 4x4. Une autre personne n'a su pas le psi du pneu a 16-20 psi. La premiere nuit - nous avons campe sur la plage bien loin de l'ocean. Dans le matin, la maree a ete 3 m de notre 4x4. Eli Creek - On devrait traverser Eli Creek dans 2 heures de la maree basse. Nous avons arrive 3.5 heures de la maree basse. Nous avons le traverse. O.O Lake Mackenzie - Nous avons rencontre Flamm aussi (le premier temps a ete a Deepwater National Park). Quelle chance! Le sable blanc a Lake Mackenzie est comparable à Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, Australia. Le sable a senti tres doucement. J'ai fait un petit somme ici. Le route 4x4 de Lake Yabby a la cote-est de l'ile a ete tres sauvage. Six 4x4 sont restes coinces dans le sable. Mes bras ont ete tres fatigue apres six 4x4. Trois du 4x4 (y compris notre 4x4) avons pris la route comme un convoi. Donc, nous avons campe a la plage. Un dingo m'a passe a 1.5 m durant dejeuner. Ses yeux a eu un regard sauvage.

(Fraser Island and the Savannah Way are my two favorite places in all of australia. 4x4 driving on Fraser is by far the most difficult I have been on in all of australia. The unsealed roads are savage!! Kate (my friend's 4x4) did well as usual. Up down. Up down. Up down..... Many people's 4x4 got stuck in the soft sand. Many inexperienced drivers on it as well. One person didnt want to lower the pressures in his tires to 16-20 psi because he was concerned about going over rocks and sticks... ooookkkkkaaaayyyyy,,, riiiggghhhttt. The first night we slept on the beach between the sandbank and the ocean..mistake. We woke up in the morning with the tide 3 meters from our 4x4. We quickly left. We got to Eli Creek 3.5 hours from low tide.. We were supposed to traverse it within 2 hours of low tide. Yikes. We crossed it but wow. At Lake MacKenzie we met up with Flamm again. How lucky! (he is the man we met in Deepwater National Park I talked about in another post). The sand here was comparable to Whitehaven Beach and this is an inland lake. It is silky soft sand and I took a nap on it. I was eating some noodles for lunch and a dingo walked within 1.5 meters of me. His eyes looked wild! Lake Yabby to the Beach was the most boggy area we went through. 6 4x4 got stuck in the deep soft sand.. My arms were so tired by the end of digging them out. 3 of us in 4x4 followed each other to the beach campsite to ensure all of us making it. The sun was setting quick).
