Journal Entry:

Headed off the beach in to the interior of the island. The tracks are much slower going than the hard sand. Got to above Lake Waddy - beautiful view, the lake with dense forest on one side and a vast stretch of sand dunes to the ocean on the other. Also saw a dingo in the forest here. At Lake Mackenzie hiked down to the beach - beautiful super clear water with a sand bottom gives the lake a gorgeous turquoise color. The sun was out and it was quite warm out of the wind, but the icy breeze meant no swimming.

Drove right through the middle of the island (Central Station) then cut back to the eastern beach at Eurong. Stopped to get something to eat, hung out in the sun for awhile, then ended up staying the night.
