Up at 7:00, packed truck and took off to Lake McKenzie. We had to get moving early to beat the tides. Realized at Lake McKenzie that we can take an inland road down to Dilli Village, and don't need to take the beach highway, which means we don't have to worry about the tides, so stayed at Lake McKenzie a lot longer, until about 1:00. Had lunch there as well. As we were cleaning up lunch, a big 1 metre goanna (lizard) invaded our lunch area and started trying to eat or leftovers and garbage. I had to keep kicking him away, and he kept swatting at me with his tail. They're not dangerous, but it's still kind of spooky fighting with a big lizard.
At 1:00, we took the inland road to Dilli Village, got there about 2:30, then a short beach stretch (tide was down enough to drive on it now) to the barge road, then back to the barge and got back to Rainbow Beach about 4:00, took our truck to the truck rental place and cleaned it out. We lost a sleeping bag, so that cost the group $25. The truck was ok, so didn't lose our bond or anything.
Back to the hostel, checked in, Ryan and I went to the Bowls Club for steak, then our group sat around the hostel for a few drinks. To bed about 11:00.
Met a guy from Caronport at Lake McKenzie! Closest yet!
