Palm Valley (97K)3 January 2004
I think this point is past (or close to) Palm Valley. This shot is taken from the most easterly point on the Australian mainland, but although the point sticks out, it obviously doesn't point east!

Eli Creek (82K)6 January 2004
Eli Creek is a popular swimming hole here on Fraser Island. However, as you can see, it's not very big and not very deep, so there's no swimming to be had here really!

Another beautiful sunset on the east (yup - I know!) coast of Fraser Island.

Fraser Camping (159K)7 January 2004

Is Rob the 13th Apostle? Hmmmm... I don't think so! Appologies for the hair and jacket - Victoria was suffering what _had_ to be close record low temperatures at the time - and that wind wasn't helping either!

It's not just the Twelve Apostles to see down here - there are loads of great formations all along the coast.
