fraser island /opening ceremony/race day

We trucked through sand and bush in our magic bus. Terrific scenery...plus whales, dingos, iguana, snakes and the many colours of Fraser Is sand.
Enjoyed a fresh water lake swim . An island surrounded by salt water with this beauty in the center.
A sea of 2000 pink paddlers for the opening ceremonies.
Our race site venue made specifically for paddling events..Lake Kawana (man made)
Marshalling for our first race!....we came 6th in our heat. Good fun for all....2o smiles in a boat!!!

Lovely to be with everyone today. My first experience of dragon boat races. Your last race was the best. Too bad you didn't have one more race and your thrid place rating would have improved to 1st I'm sure. Hope you have a great time in Cairns, Sydney and Fiji and that you don't have the same frustrating travel you had in coming.
