Fraser Island Part 2

Day 2
Day 2 started off with me back at the wheel, as I was determined to be the one to get us to Base Camp even if it took the best part of 24 hours! So we headed out, back onto the beach at the earliest possible moment, (it was still a bit hairy) and travelled up to Cathedral Beach, the home of Base camp, where we put the tents back up, had a spot of breakfast, then headed off to Indian Head, with Becs behind the wheel along the beach, by the tim we got there we had a quick run up the hill, look out over the beaches and surf, we didn't see any sharks loitering by the bottom of indian head like they supposedly normally are, then noted that it was probably time to make a move back as the tide was getting high again, and the drive up took longer than it should have, so Rob drove back along the beach, with a bit off gentle persuasion to go a bit faster, we made it back to base camp, and had the rest of the day to ourselves, no, it being 3pm, we decided the best thing to do would be to start drinking. THe night was messy, Rob and I spent a fair amount of time holding Angela up, Becs had to be fed her dinner by the lads as she was already drunk by then, and The Jen decided to be very kind and magic up some food for the dingos we had patrolling round the dining area just waiting for some tasty vom! Somehow, Rob and Chris ended up in the girls tent, giving them 7 people and us boys only 4, so I had a good ol' stretch out and dozed off about 12, after escorting Angela back, then Becky to the amenities too.

Day 3
Day 3 was pretty much a mad rush to get back to the ferry in time, we were told we'd have to make a 2 hour detour (we only had 4, and the original route was supposed to take 90 mins) due to the tide being too high by the rocks and they would be impassable. We were also informed that this run involved more dodgy roads, so I was back behind the wheel (and loving it) and a run on some very soft sand that went down steeply, then through a creek and back up a steep slope the other side. When we got there, we did lose the third team for a minute there. We also stopped breifly at Lake Allom, and took a walk down to what looked like American high school bleachers, with the bottom two rows underwater (think benches if you don't ge tthe bleachers reference) and there we saw lots of tiny tiny turtles just floating around, obviously after some food, they were smaller than the laptop I'm using, so cute! but didn't make for much of a long stop! We hit the road again, eventually, we made it back to the boat with 40 minutes to spare, and in the end the boat left late anyways! but we made it safely back off of Fraser Island!
