Fraser Island Day 3 & 4 - Dingos, donuts and the beach

As we snuggled in bed for our second night there was a call in a thick European accent that echoed throughout the camp "Help Dingos Help". Of course I went running with a broomstick in hand.  Two German lads were convinced that a dingo was circling their tent, eyeing them for dinner.  I let them borrow my broomstick for the night.  (Personally, I think it was rats - they were certainly climbing up our walls)  Time to leave the forest I think.

The next morning we went down to Eurong.  The bakery there had the yummiest jam donuts and hot chocolate.  Tanya was able to sit on a picnic table and do some work (signal again).  After that was out of the way, we drove down 70 mile beach and had a good look at the campsites and attractions along the way.  We moved camp the next night to one of these camp sits.  The waves crash in.  There's a fresh water creek (Eli Creek) that you can swim in.  At the end of 75 Mile Beach (even though it is 58 miles) you come to Indian Head.  Here I saw some whales migrating.  Poor Tan was too slow.  You could also see some sharks, turtles and stingrays.  No dolphins this time. 

Also along the beach was the remains of a ship called 'The Maheno'.  It was grounded in 1935 when an unexpected cyclone hit. 

Although the beach was fantastic we did keep venturing back into the bush to enjoy the canapy and bird songs.

Just some more shots from daily life.  What do you think of Tanya's office chair?
