Wathumba Paradise

One last post about Wathumba Creek. This view will never get old.

Wathumba Beach Side

The west beach side of Wathumba Creek is a warm place to be be in a strong south easterly.

Low Water Wathumba

When the tide recedes the creek looks very different to the idyllic aquamarine paradise of high water. However, it allows you to step right off your transom and walk ashore to explore.

Wathumba Views

The spectacular Wathumba Creek on K'gari's west coast. Paradise.

Green And Blue

I took a quick trip up to Wathumba Creek further north along the K'gari west coast. The last time I visited here was in the 1980s when my parents owned a small runabout and took au all camping. It was very special to return again after so long in my own boat, especially on a high tide when the water is so turquoise.

Moon Or Earth?

Is this a cratered Moon surface or a raindrop cratered sand beach?

Old Boot

This old boot was next to a track. It looked like it had had a good life before turning into a piece of natural installation art.

Electric Dingo

The dingos need to be kept out of the major camping areas, so this is the solution. A large fence and a grid with an electrified section since they worked out they could step across the bars.

Maheno

Exploring K'gari by car gives you access to many more amazing sights. This is the wreck of the Maheno on the ocean beach side.

Twilight

Twilight colours keep on coming as the reflected sky glow darkens.

After Sunset

Continuing the sunsets theme. After sunset the colours really come out.

Sunsets

A beautiful end to another day. Sunsets are special.

Overcast Beach

A stunningly overcast and moodily lit beach on a quiet afternoon.

Dingo Print

A dingo print shows the presence of inquisitive night time visitors to Coongul Creek.

Beach Side

A beautiful morning on the beach side of Coongul Creek with a glassy Harvey Bay.

Coongul Creek Sunrise

Sunrise at Coongul Creek. The midges need to be avoided but the cool mornings make that easy as they aren't active when it's cold enough.

Coongul Creek Ray

A stingray goes about its business of foraging for food in the shallow waters of Coongul Creek, K'gari.

K'gari Dingo

One of the famous dingoes on K'gari (Fraser Island), just wandering up the beach in paradise.

Kingfisher Bay

I took a day to run up the Great Sandy Strait and explore a little. I went past the Kingfisher Bay Jetty on my way north.
