Saturday 8-10-22:
Drove down to Bunderburg and did a bit more shopping, Gone over the top now… bought a 70 mm high density foam mattress (yellow) and chucked it under the swag ... should have done it years ago.

Drove down to Kinkuna and found all the puddles are now dried out so had an easy run in and set up camp on the beachfront.

nipped into town for some shopping and visited a mate then headed back out, passed over a green tree snake and stopped to get a pic but all i got was his trail. Towed a woman and her kids out of a sand bog then drove back up the beach to camp. grabbed a couple of moon shots after dinner.
