Video: Gopro Hero 2 Backpacking Australia, Fraser Island Tour with Dingos




Fraser Island is a small, remote, island off the coast of Queensland Australia. The island contains one a large concentration of Dingo, which are a species of wild dog native to Australia. Comedic ads can be found all over the internet about how “a dingo ate my baby,” due to the fact that on several occasions throughout the years, families who have been camping on Fraser Island have had their small children taken and killed by packs of Dingos.

The tour I was on was through the hostel named “Dingo’s,” which is a hostile located in Rainbow Beach, Queensland. The tour consisted of three days and two nights on the island and camping was allowed on the Aboriginal land near the middle of the island.

Primarily the trip was rather basic, and consisted of driving around in four-wheel-drive vehicles through the sand, stopping at different points to see amazing lakes, view points, and other popular destinations. The nights mostly consisted of consuming large quantities of alcohol and marijuana, and running around naked with the other backpackers on the trip. Mornings usually involved a solid hangover, which was easily overcome by jumping into the ocean, or a lake.

Besides how amazing the trip was, the best part was easily the people that were involved. Making new friends and then getting entirely drunk with them was by far the best part.
