We Have Lost Our Koreans!

A slightly late start this morning because we lost our Koreans. Our tour group consists of our tour guide Darren, us, an Irish forty-something couple, a single twenty-something Swiss guy, and three Koran ladies. The latter did not show up at the arranged meeting time, causing Andrew to repeatedly declare “We have lost our Koreans!” as we searched the resort.

The locals are not very original in their names on Fraser Island: the “ocean beach” is the beach on the ocean; the “fox tail plant” is a plant that looks like a fox tail; and a “sand blow” is, well...

Heavy rains today didn't end up putting that much of a kink in the plans since it is still very warm. A whistle stop tour around the island showed us forests, lakes, creeks, beaches, shipwrecks, and OMG LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT SPIDER! GET BACK IN THE CAR! GET BACK IN THE CAR!

Phew! Sorry for that outburst. Here's a picture of Jessica watching a lovely lake turtle to calm your nerves:

Our long trip home will commence over the next few days: tomorrow to Brisbane, Friday to Sydney, and Saturday all the way home to Calgary.
