[editor's note: we visited
Fraser Island May 4]
On
the first day of Frasier Island, I have seen some pretty impressive
animals. When going to the island
on the ferry, we saw bottlenose dolphins, which were not expected. Never in a million years did I expect
to see dolphins in the wild. I
knew this was a great start to what we were to see on the island. Another animal we saw was a Portuguese
Man of War washed up on the beach.
This animal is a small jellyfish and it has a long tentacle that
grows. When the tour guide was
holding it by its jelly body, the tentacle started out as a few inches and grew
to a few feet. Amazing! We also saw some dingoes too. I was the first person who spotted the
first dingo, which was running on the side of the sand dune. I was so excited I yelled “Dingo!” There was another one that was spotted
later that appeared to be hurt. It
was limping and it was skinnier than the first one we saw. I felt bad for it, since I know it must
be hard to struggle in the wild when injured and have to fend for itself. With these encounters, I knew this was
a great start to our Frasier Island adventure.
