Fraser Island II
Saturday, February 17th, 2007Dec 7-8
On Day 2, we had to get up really early and leave by 6AM in order to drive on the beach before the tide was too high. Our plan was to drive to Indian Head, at the north end of the beach, and hike across to another beach and into the Champagne Pools. We made it to Indian Head by 8AM and there were only two other trucks there ahead of us deciding whether or not to attempt to cross the bypass.

The guy at the rental agency had told us not to attempt to cross at Indian Head due to the deep soft sand so, considering our experience at Eli Creek, we decided to take his advice. Claude parked the truck as high up the beach as possible and we made a sort of double retaining wall around the truck to keep the tide at bay.

I’m sure if the tide had come high enough our wall wouldn’t have lasted more than a few minutes, but it made us feel better. [read on]
