Currently in Surfers Paradise over the day, in the bay,lets throw the dicemmmkay?- Poem of the day -
We are sitting here in Surfers trying to recuperate from the trip we took to Fraser Island tuesday and wednesday. More on that later but first the important news. We have, just recently, bought an Eddie - sign and a Didgeridoo album called Yigi Yigi. CRIKEY man its good stuff! Wikkid!!!
Ok, c ya!
Oh, yeah, we had some more stuff to smoke, I mean say, or do I... yeez I duno... thats right Fraser Island... go there if you like spiders, snakes, dingos and great sandy stuff. We took the incredibly comfortable trucks (yes, thats irony... but hey it was a Toyota!) from the Brisbane City Terminal at 7 in the morning to head to Fraser Island. 3 hours later and two asses less we arrived on the Island (see pictures). On the way over to Fraser we spotted some baby dolphins in the sea. Fraser is the largest sand island in the world. From what we heard it has more sand than the entire Sahara desert and the sand is 800 meters thick. Upon arrival we started driving the truck on 75 mile beach. You could basically travel, by car, on that beach for 90 kilometers straight. Needless to say it was big. The beach was classified as a road. Road rules apply on all beaches. Not only was the beach classified as a road, smaller planes also landed on it, so if you didnt get hit by a car you could get hit by an airplane landing or taking off.
We had decided, for reasons we have not yet figured out, to spend the night in a tent. Not the smartest idea perhaps considering the amount of spiders and yucky stuff on the island... arriving at the camp site, staring at it in frozen horror, the one main concern of our surfer guide was:
"Dude, does anyone got any beers they want chilled, man?"
Not really our main concern... first thing Joakim noticed was a semi large spider, inside the tent, which was killed although Sophie was only told about this when safe home in Brisbane. I wise move... other sights include another huge black spider in a restroom, Sophie being attacked by a lizard at another restroom (the combined urinal and handicap "toilet"), a snake that had just swallowed a rat, Sophie killing a spider in the car, and then there was the attack of the death snake... or well, it didnt really attack, and it sorta looked like an eel, but the panic in Sophies eyes was very real. For a moment she considered jumping up from the water onto a sign post (it was not very sustainable, so not a very smart idea)... shortly after that we had a walk in the rainforest that presented even more possibilities of being attacked by spiders and snakes. It is believed that Sophies heart rate reach new heights during this day, and the day after. It is only just now that she stopeed having tunnel vision.
Coming back from the first days trip we got into the hotel resort bar (where all the smart people stayed), had some drinks (Sophie got wasted on two Smirnoff Ice) and listend to some great music. We got to hear and see the "I am mine", which is the first confirmed "hearing" of PJ on this trip. The second one got ruined because we had to get out of the car once we got back to Brisbane, so we got kinda bummed out about that especially since the music had sucked for 2 days straight.
Ok, back to the batmobile.
To be continued! Next week, same channel, same time!/Brendan
