We woke up this morning not quite believing we made it through the storm, man!!!! Everyone was up pretty early this morning (about 5-6am) but seeing as most of us had gone to bed before 9pm we were all quite spritely and chipper!! We were also welcomed by a pretty amazing sunrise and a couple of Dingos (in the distance!) too!!! Brecko consisted of some sausage sangas and cereal which set us up well for our last day. We still have no idea how he did them!!! Everyone crashed after this tired but happy they had survived their 3 day Fraser Island adventure! :) ...
