Real stories: My guided tour of Fraser Island
Hi – my name is Mathilde. I am from France, and had the opportunity to spend six months in Australia. During my time here, I knew I wanted to see Fraser Island. Luckily, I was able to embark on a three day guided tour of the Island in October. It was a fantastic experience and an awesome time to travel (weather wise). I would highly recommend visiting if you get the chance. The memories and friendships i made throughout this trip are ones I’ll cherish forever.
As an international tourist, I was reluctant to organise a trip to an unfamiliar place by myself. I decided to book through an agency to save time and money. This was a great decision. My entire trip was planned for me, including food, transport and accommodation. The group I travelled with were from all different countries, speaking all different languages. This was very rewarding, as I got to learn about different cultures whilst out of my comfort zone.
