Fraser Island - Day 2

Up about, not sure, had breakfast, walked to Indian Head for wildlife viewing, saw turtles and a few rays. As we were sitting at Indian Head, Webka, one of the German girls, remarked to me that now she understands why I wanted to come to Fraser Island a second time. It's beautiful. Then to Champaigne Pools. Awesome! Better than last time, because the tide is much higher, so more "whitewater".

Back to camp, had lunch, packed up truck and left camp about 2:15. Drove to Lake Wabby, but no time to walk to it, so kept going to Central Station campground. When we arrived, the park warden approached us, was very rude, didn't say hello, just bluntly told us that this is a family campground, not like Indian Head, and there will be no partying, there is a noise curfew at 9:00, and they will fine us or kick us out of the campground. Then he pretty much told us if we still wanted to stay, feel free to use the facilities, but if we wanted to leave, he'd give us directions to Dilli campground, where we could party. He wasn't a very pleasant warden.

Had a hot shower, we made supper, then partied until exactly 9:00, then we shut up. Everyone kind of started going to bed after that.

Central Station campground is set in the rainforest, it's just like any campground you'd find in a national park in the Rocky Mountains in Canada, very nice.
