Day 16 - Wongi State Forest

We checked out at 10am, took a shower and ate lunch. We went for a 5 kms walk in the national park, departing from the camp site. We parked on the track leading to the camp and started walking in the sand under a heavy sun; the walk was hard and long. After 30mn we wondered about the distance remaining to the camp site. Fortunately we met a 4WD Ute which brought us there in its back, in the middle of tools. We realised that it was a fair distance and wondered if we should not ask the driver for another drive back. Finally we stayed to check the beach, deserted, beautiful. We cooled down, naked, in the ocean – we wanted to swim to the coral but it seemed farer than we expected. Then we took a fresh shower before starting a long and exhausting walk back in the heavy sand for 2hrs. Once arrived, around 5pm, we departed for the Wongi State Forest for a free camping before going to Hervey Bay. It was a 10kms drive in the forest to reach the camp where surprisingly three other campers were already settled down. We went to bed the latest, at 11pm.
