Fraser Island Pics...pt. 1

This is the ferry we took over...

And this is the view from the top.

These are some of my classmates...
Class of 2009!

This is the truck the profs/instructors were riding. And it also carried some of our food for the weekend.

Highway 1, a.k.a Pacific Highway

It's a dingo!!
This one's a 'she' and she was just out walking, sniffing at all the vehicles that would slow down to get a closer look. There are a ton of them on the island.

It's pronounced 'Your Wrong'. Hahaha!!

A tree with no bark. :)

This tree has some crazy vines all along it. Apparently it's being killed by a fig seed that was planted there by a bird. It leaves it somewhere in the tree and these vines grow out of it, strangling it to death. But I don't know if you can see them in this picture.

This is Andrew, one of the student mentors, climbing the tree. Watching him climb down was a bit nerve-wracking...

Lake Mackenzie!


Class of 2009

Our student mentors. :) They were great

This is where the USC campsite is located.

And this is one of the natives of the island. Like the dingos, there are a ton of them on the island!
