16th July, 2011

Start Loc: South White Cliffs, Fraser Island (25o 31.21’ S, 152o 58.39’ E)
Narrative: It was a wet and dreary day, and we decided we couldn't be bothered moving. The kids risked going a bit stir crazy, so I took the dinghy and dropped them ashore. They played on the beach and then tried climbing the cliffs. They found a bit of a natural slide, so they proceeded to climb up and slide down. Naturally, they managed to get themselves pretty dirty. Heather was concerned they would slip and hurt themselves, but I pointed it it was the first time they had cooperated in a long time, so we let them be. I ran the engine for 30 mins to charge the batteries a bit, and probably just as importantly to give the kids some hot water, and then went and picked them up.
End Loc: South White Cliffs, Fraser Island (25o 31.21’ S, 152o 58.39’ E)
