Briefly, after returning home and spilled my pasta Bolognese on my pants, I spend all day typing my blog. The evening appointment with Anthony for a drink.

My roommate Australian arrived this afternoon. He also works in a bar on the Whitsunday Islands.

We're going to our new vehicle, a Land Cruser beautiful bright pink. We also discover the whole team: 2 German, 1 Swiss German, 2 Irish, 2 Dutch, we are giving 9 in the 4x4. First step: go shopping at Woolworth ...

We drive to the station to buy ice, fortunately that gasoline is very expensive, it is 70cents more expensive than on the mainland. We drive along the beach 75 miles. The beach is 75miles as its name indicates a vast beach, the sea is gorgeous but ironically can not swim because of sharks which are numerous in the corner. The beach 75 miles

A dingo, here is one of the purest breeds of dingo because they are the only dogs on the island ...

We stop along the beach to set up camp, the stars available to us. Fearing it will rain, Floppy Swiss and I sleep in the 4x4, an uncomfortable night especially as the 4x4 was not parked on level ground.

Monday, February 4, sunny / cloudy
We get up at 6am it was not until 8 am due to ride the tide, there are times to roll on the beach because the tide. It does not always raining, we took the road to the station to buy ice and then we drive on the beach 75 miles towards Eli Creek, a river that enters the sea

We take the car and there, 2 nd failure: what should be a problem of fuel supply, in fact happens when the mechanic is the fuel pump which is down, all is repaired in 2 hours and we're back on track to roll towards Indian Head.

We pass the wreck of a boat that ran aground in 1935, the sea is very dangerous in the corner, there are many vague and many ships have foundered.

Normally we can see sharks from Indian Head but it will not be the case ...

That's what I went through before I return to the car, it's a tiger snake, it is not always fatal. But you must go home by the hospital box (which is very far from here and there is no telephone network in the area) if you are bitten ...

up the road again 'to place our camp where we spend the night.

Some members team (including me) have decided to go to the lake before returning to the campsite. It's always so beautiful ...

Still a dingo on Fraser Island ...

Thursday, February 7, cloudy
Back on the road to Surfers Paradise. We leave the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast. This city is very strange because there are only skyscraper then it is place and around Surfers Paradise is a town of less than 20,000 inhabitants. From a distance it looks like a city like Melbourne. However the waves are truly impressive, more than 3m high! FYI, contrary to popular belief, there is no competition in Surfers Paradise surf because the waves are currents that cause the waves are not that good. Sure, it's very strange to see the sea currents move seaward and hit the waves coming in opposite directions.

The beach ...

... and waves

We want to stay here for the night ... but

We drive to Coolangata therefore to eat and then on the road to Byron Bay we stopped in an area of rest.

By late afternoon, we return to the road, the van burst, we assemble the spare wheel. Night falls quickly and 1700mm annual rainfall seem to have concentrated today. It rains so much that people are forced to stop on the low side, we no longer see the road. We finally arrive at a rest area to sleep.
