There is sand in/on/up my [..............] !!!

Last weekend we went to Fraser Island, which is considered to be the largest sand island in the world, and to have more sand than the Sahara desert. Controversial. But there is undoubtedly a lot of sand. And no roads. So, we hired a 4WD, and ferried across on a barge that could as well have landed tanks and troops on Omaha Beach on D-Day.

Driving on the beach was easy, as the sand was quite solid. The inland tracks were annoyingly bumpy though, causing some bitching and moaning in the back of the car. However, swimming in the fantastic lakes made everyone happy again (no swimming in the sea, as the waters around Fraser Island are infested with sharks).

We spent the night on the beach, sitting around an illegal campfire (no singing!), having a classic camping dinner (pasta and stuff from tins), and watching out for dingos (in fact, a sign advised not to go "bush toileting" alone because of those baby-eating monsters).
