After a long journey, an even longer Orientation - week and several bruises and open wounds hüftabwärts starts, finally my semester Australia.
But this post is dedicated exclusively to the origin or cause of my bruises - my weekend trip to Fraser Iceland!
After a hard day's entertainment in the O-week I decided to attend a university in-house tour to Fraser Iceland. What and where Fraser Iceland (FI) is? FI is a relatively small island about three hours away from my university. (Question now is not where my university is). The island is about 130 km long and 40 km and also a World Heritage Site.
Via bus it was going on Friday morning ... the ferry took us from Rainbow Beach to within ten minutes FI. Probably noticed we were sitting now in 4WD (Four Wheel Drive = four-wheel drive) SUV, pretty brisk this.
Between Short Info: on the island there is a speed limit of 80 km / h on the beach. A Drivers lincence (license) is not needed.
Dilli Village, no this has nothing to do with vegetables was our goal. A kind of private preserve of the university for research purposes.
unpack things fresh and make short fast followed by a short important for survival training.
"... please beware before the poisonous snakes ..." This sentence seemed very calm to me. We were taught how we should behave after a snake bite, with the additional observation that the bite was careless of a black snake, they would face in ten minutes his Creator. Somehow I had after that remark ...!!!! relaxed
In Germany it is compulsory to always carry an identity card with them to FI, it is the flashlight. So everyone got to us. Nevertheless, I succeeded in the heat of battle over a few dozen to trip over wooden beams, Result: 1 blue Fleck + 2 open wounds.
Now I was well equipped to rule the island to tear at me.
The Friday was pretty quiet. A little (the emphasis is on "the beach", not further because the sharks) to the beach, a little barbecue (BBQ) and general getting to know the participants.
The Tower of Babel After a deep sleep in the middle of the wilderness between lizards, plate-sized spiders, snakes, dingoes (canine-like animal), sharks, rays, dolphins and other moving animals , Saturday began with a half-hour walk through a tropical jungle. We first ascended the mountain of the world's largest sand and then I popped one in the lake had the warmest I have ever seen. Probably noticed we always followed a warm and very pleasant rain.
biggest sand mountain in the world In 4WD, it went on bumpy roads back into the reserve.
was liberally made a few sandwiches is also available again already with the goal of 70 km of coastal research, mind you with a total of four off-road vehicles along the beach, making fun irsinnigen and indescribably beautiful!
The culmination of our Auflugs should be a 'Champagne Pool ????????????' be.
But first some intermediate experience:

Suddenly, lo and behold a few dingoes ...

... and a luxury liner stranded anno 1939, on the beach ...
... and the Indian Head, a mountain with a head-like shape and a unique view of everything ...
... and finally a ... one about moving blue thing from the ocean (about the size of a fingernail!
Ahaa, so this is a Champagne Pool! Well, the same jumped in, free of any sharks, I enjoyed the first time a few shake the salty warmth of the ocean water ...
So much for Saturday ... ah the evening we went again to the collar or in the eye when annual GurkeVomAugeHerunterWackelnMitDerZungeOhneHände.
