Moreton Island, the world's 3rd largest sand island

Hi guys! Last time I checked in, Amy and I were about to embark on an overnight trip with Goanna Adventures to Moreteon Island, the world’s third largest Island. The trip was fantastic, educational, active, and memborable:
We were picked up by the tour company at the train station, by our tour guide Logan, a tan athletic Aussie sporting a full head of blonde dreadlocks. We boarded our bright blue 4 wheel drive tour bus, which we drove right onto a ferry that took us to Moreton within the hour. 97% of the island is national park, and there are no paved roads- they are all sand, necessitating a 4wd capable vehicle. Even with our monster truck, we still got stuck in the sand at one point.
Our first stop was “The Dessert” for a little sandboarding. In the burning sun, we trekked up a massive sand hill with our boards. After a quick intro on safety, we were good to go. In the spirit of go big or go home, I chose to skip the lie down option, and did my first run standing up, as if I were snowboarding. Most people choose to lie down, which I tried as well- lying down on your stomach, careening down at high speeds is sure to guarantee a mouthful of sand! Once we were thoroughly spent, covered in sand, and sweating, we bumped our way back toward the beach., where we donned snorkels for a swim around a series of shipwrecks right off the beach. Our tour guide brought a bag of bread, which in turn brought hundreds of fish swarming all around us. It was incredible! We spent the night in tents at the tour company’s permanent camp. Logan, our guide, cooked us a great dinner, and even played a bit of guitar at night. The next day, he took us to a freshwater lake, not more than 100 feet off the beach. Because it is a sand island, rainwater deposits underground, and then filters back up, clear as can be, into the lake. It was beautiful! After breaking camp, we moved on to another larger lake, which was great as a respite from the heat, but not nearly as clear. Overall, a great trip, and I may book a tour with them later to Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island, which also sports a rainforest.
