Was sitting in the back seat while daughter and her girlfriend got the hang of sand driving (high tide mind you).
Started counting when we turned around at the northern end. Hit 400 just before the exited the beach.
Few white pointers around as well.

Only three sets....the learner drivers got a giggle on the way back.
On the way up I mention did I just spot a couple of wire pointers.....they automatically looked toward the ocean.

Kids still look for the dolphins, but our wives are now onto what we are doing.

Went for a drive down Rainbow day after boxing day and I didn't get any of these sightings. :'(

Didn’t really see any idiots......apart from a Ute parked up on a sand dune on vegetation and one whipper snapper overtaking where he could have just waited.
400+ cars I thought everybody was very well behaved.....present surprise as I was expecting something a little different.

That's because of the beach fee.....keeps the bogans at D.I. & Inskip.

That's because of the beach fee.....keeps the bogans at D.I. & Inskip.And didn’t they all come out for Australia Day.... ::)
Driving home via DI late Monday afternoon revealed the mass of destruction they all left behind.
Not one fishtail or donut on the beach the whole length of Fraser. Come out from Leisha track and it’s straight out of paradise into the mad max zone.
The whole beach ripped up with donuts and fishtails from the dunes to the water.
We counted 3 Australian flags, 5 or 6 busted chairs and a couple of gazebos left up in the dunes or hanging from trees.
They even left a campfire smoldering on top of one dune. ::)
Only a matter of time before we all get locked out of that place. :(

If you've never been on the beach there, how do you know "too many idiots turn up"?
Post by: Pete79 on February 06, 2020, 06:03:39 PM
Unsure how much the fine was, but they were allowed to stay which surprised me as I thought they would have been kicked off the beach on top of the fine.Money, money, money.
Just like hiding in the bushes taking photos.
Collecting the cash is all that counts, changing the behavior while it’s actually happening doesn’t matter, just get that money!

All the bogans and deadbeats doing donuts and leaving fires burning on the beach up at DI don’t pay for permits.

You don't need to drive on the beach to see the idiots. Just walk or ride a bike up along there and then there's the pics in the local rag of fools and also others that live on the Island that have driven up there and said never again, that's how! :P

Too true, it's unfortunate as without the hordes of ferals it's actually a pretty nice place, we have found the best time to visit is midweek before the school holidays in winter. It's generally not too busy or windy, and there haven't been masses of people recently crapping in the dunes.

Maybe method in the madness..........
Keep most od the ferals on DI. That way the other areas are less boganized......

I honestly think things have got much worse with the ferals in the last 5-7yrs... It the same down here in Vic High Country.. anywhere the 2wd fleet can get to gets destroyed
