Ready for Fraser Island

There hasn't been too many places to log on the last few days so we haven't been able to update our blog... Thought I would write a short update before leaving for Fraser Island (I don't think there is Internet available there).
We stayed in Byron Bay for five nights. We liked the place and pretty much everything about it. The beach was nice, lots of big waves to play in (we are like small children in the water... hehe) and lots of wind just like the west coast of Norway, but alot warmer. The town and the atmosphere is "hippieish" (can't find a better word at the momen to describe it) and the people are layback. On Sunday there were a big drum-circle on the beach where everyone could join in. People were dancing and one guy acctually joined the jammin with two spoons (very cool). With so many people drumming you can't help but move your body to the music :)
Monday, November 5th, we drove north, towards Fraser Island with our car full of tin-can-food (we won't starve to death). We stoped in Mooloolaba (love the weird names here), a small town between Brisbane and Noosa, after driving 363,5km (we chose a long route). In Mooloolaba we checked in to a Caravan Park next to the beach, took a refreshing bath (JT ment the beach there were nicer than the beach in Byron Bay), before having dinner and going to bed. The next day (yesterday) we continued our journey north. We got all the way to Noosa in no time (we thought it would be a longer drive), where we bought a roof rack with a basket for our jerry-can, camping-table and chairs and some water. First we got the wrong type of roof rack, but we finally got the right one, and then it was the struggle of getting it on the car at noon, the hottest hours in the day, in the sunshine. When we were finished we were so tiered, but very happy to have a roof rack :) After relaxing for a while we went into Noosa Heads (sayd to be the most expencive tourist place on the Sunshine Coast) where it's suppose to be lots of famous people (we didn't see any). There were no camping sites there so we took a refreshing bath (in huge waves that knocked us over) before heading out to a camping site.
Today we are driving on the beach toward Inskip Point, where the ferry leaves for Fraser Island. Our plan (if you can call it a plan) is to relax on the beach and drive to a place called Tin Can Bay where I read somewhere that you can feed dolphins at 8 o'clock in the morning, so we'll camp there and hopefully we'll get to feed the dolphins tomorrow before taking the ferry over to Fraser Island. I guess we'll stay on Fraser Island for a week or something, so the next update won't come for a while.
This life just keeps getting better and better :)
