Day 3 - 26th April 2012
Well it happened...twice!
We got stuck on the way across Inskip Point to the barge. Luckily we were there with time to spare so we still made it onto the first barge of the day at 0600. Another bloke in front of us in the queue pulled us out. The next saga was when we tried to exit the beach into Dilli Village where we were to setup house for the next four nights. Dilli Village is an enclosed facility owned and run by the Sunshine Coast University. It's fully fenced to keep the dingoes out. We have the whole camping ground to ourselves.
Anyway, we got to setup and then went touring for the day. The driving on the inland tracks is challenging but fun. Our target destination was Lake McKenzie but made many stops along the way for some small photographic diversions. We've picked a good time to visit Fraser Island. Pretty quiet with not too many people around. It's great to stop, get out of the car and soak up the serenity of this place. The weather was perfect today - cool all day. I think the forecast for the coming days is not so flash but we'll see what unfolds. I don't normally take too much notice of the weatherman.
Lake McKenzie is gob smackingly beautiful.
