HERVEY BAY, FRASER ISLAND / AUSTRALIA, Day 176:
We have just made it back from the most amazing "toilet tour" of Freezer Island (aka Fraser Island). Due to the rather cold temperatures, we decided that camping on the island would result in hypothermia, amputation of several if not all limbs, if not sure death by a starving pack of dingos - Sabine's worst fear was to be taken out whilst making her way to the loo in the dark. We spared her the tension and went for the Japanese style tour instead. A refreshing change from our usual travel mode as we found ourselves on a full double decker bus. The island itself was beautiful but the main highlights revolved more around the commentary and the silica sand than around the scenary. We were thrilled to find that our tour stopped at all the toilets around the island. From Hervey Bay, to the port, to the rainforest and the lakes, we rejoiced at the idea of seeing yet another bathroom. Inspired by the whole thing, Lynda decided it was wise to brush her teeth with sand from the lake. It had such a wonderful effect on the wedding ring that it could do the teeth nothing but good. Unfortunately she subsequently noticed that the water of the lake was not as clear as planned so had to swallow the sand rather than use the water to rinse out her mouth...
We are now gladly back on the mainland with all limbs and shiny teeth.
Did i mention it was nice?
Giant tooth picks.
Now we know why Valerie was so taken up with the whole place!
