Hervey Bay, really only known as starting point for Fraser Iceland, the largest sand island in the world and the only one growing on the rain forest on sandy soil. Since we had back then!
evening we were picked up by our new host Troy. He lives with his elderly wife and stepson in a house to be sold. In the beginning, we the whole family was funny before, the son Locklin example, the permanently stoned (saw it on anyway) ran through the area and so persuaded that we never understood him. The woman looked very old, in contrast to Troy, and on the first night she lay in bed and watched TV and did not come to greet us. And Troy always talks of drinking beer, and had half a million different jobs and now Fischer. But in the end they were then quite nice. They set out, like real parents, all the while worried about us because we always came home very late. So quite sweet. 
The first day we explored with our bikes and helmets (helmets are mandatory in Australia) the place. First we had a Fruehstueckspicknick on the pier. Then we booked a day trip for Fraser (unfortunately, I prefer not even out ..) and enjoyed the sunset on the beach with a tasty red wine. 
The next day ie Fraser. With about 40 people, we sailed over to the island and took first with a 4-wheel-drive bus (made in Germany) the miles of beach along ("75-Mile Beach", and as long as was also really). Then we had to wade through a crystal clear river that winds through the rainforest and into the sea. Unfortunately, one can swim from the island is never in the sea, there are lurking everywhere sharks off the coast. We saw multi-colored sand and held out for humpback whales, but saw no. Looked for We dingoes - look like foxes, but are related to Asian wolves! 
Next stop was an old ship wreck that sank before dawn, was rinsed from the beach, and beautiful rusty came up. We were allowed to get off like a Japanese tourist, for a total of 5 minutes, shoot photos, and get back! 
After watching the ship and eat delicious, was the highlight of the island. A freshwater lake with the clearest water in the world (I think). The water is slightly acidic and therefore grows in the lake itself nothing. Incredibly beautiful! Of course it was very cold - but we could not stop it. I dived, I lost my contact lens and grabbed a new one goes in - full of anticipation in the morning I had already considered the eyes to keep open leg diving. Unfortunately, there were, as mentioned, nothing to see. Except in very interesting given. Sandra told me 2 minutes ago, we would need more text. Now she thinks I would blather :-) 
Finally, there was a walk through the rain forest. An absolutely brilliant day!
and ugly the way back: We were promised to be back at 5:30 at the starting point in Hervey Bay. 5:30 to say the good Troy was waiting for us, and we did not have the mobile. After the bus drove past, but each of the 40 people in the wrong order to the hotels (only the driver knows why), we arrived an hour too late. Troy was not there (he had been to pick up a new couch surfers). We called a taxi. The taxi came. Troy came back. We sent the taxi away. The driver was not good (with 5 Australian dollars, he had to be appeased). Troy and Lesley threw meat to the grill and feed us properly. Then they took us to the Greyhound-night bus that took us up north!
