Day 10 Tuesday 3rd July 2012 Fraser Island (Central Station - Waddy Point)



We woke in the morning to have  breakfast in a rain forest,  an absolute natural treasure. The night was freezing, (about 4 deg) and in the rain forest it felt like it was below zero.  We decided that since Olivia had vomited the night before that she was entitled to the one $1 coin we owned and that was required to have a hot shower!!  We were packed up about 11am after bacon, egg and some laughs, and headed for Waddy Point. On the way we visited  Lake McKenzie, an inland oasis, Happy Valley, Cathedral Beach (where diesel was $2.12L)  and Champagne Pools. It was on this route  we saw our first and only Dingo on the beach. We arrived at Waddy Point about 4pm for our second setup, this was an spectacular location, up on the hill overlooking the beach. We were able to light a fire which made the night more comfortable.
