Day 200 Bundaberg to Platypus Bay (Fraser Island)

Today was a shorter journey for us, which was helped by the light winds and sunny weather. Even though we headed out east again to catch better winds and make a quicker pace, we arrived at Platypus Bay on the edge of Fraser Island just after lunch. Here, we managed to have a swim and a walk, which we think the dogs enjoyed in particular! We found the lagoon, and just enjoyed having more than 20 miles of beautiful white beaches to ourselves. As we settled in to the afternoon, it began to cloud over. By nightfall, there was the most frantic ‘electrical storm,’ (it's Queensland terminology for thunder storm.') The next day, even though it was still overcast we moved further up the beach for a better anchorage position.
