This is the 'mean machine' that we travelled in.
On the first day we had gorgeous sunshine and we went swimming in Wabbi Lake, an emerald green lake full of fish.
We also went for a walk through the lush rainforest. Here is Nic doing a bit of tree-hugging with a 1800 year old kauri.
On the second day we had a 15 minute flight. As you can see the weather was overcast but it was great to get a birds eye view of the island and see how huge it is.
These are called the Pinnacles - cliffs made only from sand. There are 72 different colours apparently!
They have about 150 wild dingoes on the island and they have a pretty tough life. It is illegal to feed them or leave food in a place they could get to it i.e. a tent. They could attack humans, especially children.
Here's me paddling at Eli Creek. 4.2 million litres of water flows thought it to the sea every hour.
Our vehicle broke down on the way home, luckily the tied didn't come in before we got a replacement and during the wait we got to see a fab sunset.

Getting quite glib about it all now ... "and saw wild dingoes, humpback whales, a couple of dolphins, rays and a few sharks" ...

Have fun, take care Mx
Hey guys,
We know what it's like to see a couple of whales, dolphins, rays and sharks ;)
How is the rest of your trip going?
We are currently in Surfers Paradise, where it is constantly raining unfortunately... but we're preparing ourselves for the battle against Brazil tonight ;)
Cheers from Roel & Priscilla
