Fraser Island is the world’s biggest all-sand island. When I say all sand, I mean it. There is vegetation, but it’s growing on top of white sand. Like beautiful beach, white sand. Fraser Island is a long thin island about 110km long and about 15km wide. The east side of the island has a 75km long beach. Don’t get your hopes up though. You can’t swim in the water. There’s sharks and jellyfish as you can see. The jellyfish will kill you. So will the sharks. There’s dingoes there and if you feed them, they get shot. They begin to get a dependence on the tourists and have killed small children before.

That doesn’t really matter though there are freshwater lakes. I mean really fresh water. They’re beautiful. Most of them are crisp blue and don’t have many fish or seaweed. They’re just perfect beautiful lakes. You can keep your eyes open underwater and see for meters. If you have goggles, you can practically see across the lake. The nicest one was Lake MacKenzie, but I went there when it was raining. I swam anyway, it’s hot in December. I also really liked Lake Basin which is very tiny and a 3km hike to get to. It looks like a crater from a meteor. It’s a circle and only about 150m in diameter.

My friend Mike and I went from Rainbow Beach on the mainland. We stayed at Fraser’s on Rainbow. It’s a decent place. Cool people. Cool staff. Cheap beer. Ping pong and pool tables. We paid around $200 for two nights and three days on Fraser Island. They put us in a group of 9 girls. The 11 of us together rented a Toyota Land Cruiser 4 wheel drive. They took us over to the island to camp and gave us an itinerary. You can drive along the sand there. Mike and I were the only two drivers (though we weren’t the only qualified drivers). You can drive along the 75km beach during low tide. You can’t drive through any salt water. At one point we got caught on the beach during high tide. We had to drive through the thick fluffy sand rather than the once wet, hard packed sand near the water. We almost tipped over. I was driving. I was scared.

Just going from lake to lake on Fraser Island with a bunch of people you don’t really know is really fun. You walk across some really insane plains of sand with big dunes and such. I can’t wait to do it again with some friends.

And here we are jamming at night.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hello, anyone who watches. As you can tell, I have redesigned NickField.net. I have turned NickField.net into a personal page rather than a semi-professional page. I’d rather just have fun with this.

As you can also see I have changed the name of my blog from Debaucherous Endeavo(u)rs to Nick’s Wherd. This may still change, but Debaucherous Endeavors is down for the time being. If you have any suggestions as to what I can name my personal blog, feel free to email or comment.

Also, here is a professional no-no. But I have not tested my site in Internet Explorer. I have a mac and it’s tricky. I also noticed some discrepancy between Opera (on my non-blog pages) and Firefox. If you notice any design flaws, if you could be so kind to send me a screenshot, it’d help until I can test using other browsers.

I realize that it has been a while since I’ve written. I’ve been working. I can give you all the details of my job once it is a far thing of the past, as it is very interesting story to tell.

Regardless, you’ll see more entries here now that I have some more free time. I’m going through a transition with my work and hopefully everything will work out in the new year.
