After we went to Gold Coast, my mates and I booked a trip to Fraser Island. This was one of my favorite experiences thus far. There, the beaches are the roads and the tide was so low on the way home that our guide decided to drive the whole way on Rainbow Beach. We found out later it was because he wanted to surf! His name was Mick and he a part time student earning his way by being a guide there and he was my favorite Australian I’ve met thus far. I saw such excitement in his eyes as he quickly grabbed his board from atop the Landrover and sprinted into the water. Might I add that it was so rough that NO ONE else on the beach was in the water. It was so exciting to watch him out there and he only caught one wave! I climbed on top of the hood of the Landrover and laid back on the windshield, happy as could be from this stellar trip, and watched him struggle. He explained to me how even though it was rough, they weren’t great waves because they were quick and coming from all directions. He explained that it’s ideal to have waves that last long and don’t turn over as fast. Makes sense!
