The Whitsunday and Fraser Islands tours to complete our Spaceship Adventure!!

We had a great night at the Magnums Backpackers in Airlie Beach and with much excitement boarded the Habibi boat for our tour of The Whitsunday Islands.  The tour was fantastic fun, playing beach cricket on a beach rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, snorkeling the great barrier reef and getting drunk with some new friends and some friendly crew members on the boat.

Our maiden voyage as sailors was a great experience, one which we enjoyed very much.  On our return to Airlie beach, we had no time to waste, we had to get down to Rainbow Beach, for our safety briefing for our Fraser Island Trip.  On our long drive down the East coast, we made our very last meals in our Spaceship Roxy.  We first stopped for a light breakfast, some cereal and a cup of coffee and then we stopped a little later to prepare a tuna pasta.  Cooking food using our camp stoves has saved us so much money, but it has also been pretty cool, finding idyllic spots on the east coast and eating where we wish!

We arrived at Rainbow Beach in the afternoon, just about in time for our safety briefing on the Fraser Island tour that we were set to go on the following day.  We met our group and went to the near-by shops to buy some supplies to keep us going for the three days on the largest sand island in the world.  The following day we were given our 4×4 and I drove us to the ferry.  The three days was filled with fun at the amazing lakes, great fun driving the jeep off road on the beach and through forests, and drinking and eating around campfires in our group.  My personal highlight of the trip was at Lake Wabby where we ran down the tall sand dunes into the clear lake below!

On our return to Rainbow Beach, we spent the night in a near-by pub watching the opening game of the NRL season, The Cowboys were taking on the Brisbane Broncos.  It was a great game and was an eye opener on just how big the sport is in Australia.  

The next morning we set off on our final journey in our spaceship, down to Brisbane to drop our van off.  It had been so good to us, encountering no problems whatsoever.  We dropped it off and made our way into the city centre to spend the day at the man made beach.  

So our Spaceship adventure was over.  We had left no stones unturned in Australia, and had experienced everything we wanted to.  Our spaceship had made the experience all that more epic, giving us the freedom to go where we wanted and whenever we wanted to.  I highly recommend that anyone planning on doing a trip to the east coast of Australia, to seriously look into booking a spaceship, you will not regret it!!
