More sandy

May 12, 2005

Due to tide times restricting driving on the beach we couldn't leave the campsite until 12.30 (none of us were going to get up at 6am for the first slot!) When we were able we headed back down south to Eli Creek, a shallow freshwater creek which we walked to the end of and waded back down. We even timed it well and managed to get there for about the only rain free 10 minutes of the whole day.
We continued further along the beach stopping and walking into Rainbow Gorge an area of interesting sand colours and formations. It now truly felt like we were on a sand island as there was a huge area of sand, with the view uninterrupted by trees and shrubs.
We met up with the group we camped with the previous night and drove along the beach together to pick a camp spot. With much the same set up as the night before we spent our last night on Fraser huddled under tarpaulins, the rain even stopped and it was a beautiful clear starry sky.
