It’s been a long last few days. We went to a miami themed party that we were all a little over (well under really) dressed for. Some dude was dressed up as a Chips cop… (apperently when your this far away anything american will do) Anyway, a day or two later we went to the town 1770 and took a boat to an island in the great barrier reef which was just amazing. we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. There were these ginormous clam things that probably could take a hand (or worse!), but luckily there weren’t any eels. Jeff and I got sunburnt pretty bad snorkeling all day. Phil has at least a whole show of crocodile hunter show impression around that, mating calls and all :/.

The next day, we drove down to frasier island and rented a 4×4. We saw an old shipwreck and went to Eli Creek (ha ha!). The whole island is basically a big sand dune covered in forest. We went toMakenzey Lake which was really cool. The water is crystal clear. Phil claims you can drink it (didn’t try it though:)) and the sand looks perfectly white. There are supposed to be a bunch of dingoes, but all we saw was a big-ass lizzard. Now we’re back and looking forward to some relaxing days at the beach and surfing.
