Big tides / sea's  with wind pushing it in .. Been quite a few trying their luck on Fraser the past few days and loosing everything in the gamble ..
It was like this every afternoon we were there up Corroboree Beach, not at all an enjoyable beach drive, so we tried to avoid going South

We were struggling to get through there even around 2hrs from high one particular day. Thank god for the Bypass tracks. We got to Eurong though and headed inland. What a difference even half an hour of tide makes at Yidney or Poyungan rocks. Yet later that arvo it was like a highway

earlier today
3 barges going, apparently line moving pretty quickly




I think i'd setup for another night.

I must have been lucky then. Not many waiting. She was real soft the last 1k or so. 2 1/2 hrs after low.

The 2WD ute on the rocks on the Facebook page yesterday was entertaining, no idea whatsoever.
