Today is the next big challenge, can the 100 series pull the camper trailer through the soft sand around the Indian Head bypass. This prospect has had Jacky concerned for some weeks now, mostly due to the fact that she watched a 4WD Action DVD that showed the drama Graham & Shaun had towing a large boat and a camper trailer around the bypass earlier this year. The reason for her concern was that if those guys with all their experience had trouble how would we manage it by ourselves. It took nearly an hour and a half to do the 60 kms to Indian Head from our Cornwells campsite and what do we see when we arrive? One vehicle attached to another vehicle pulling a large boat by a snatch strap and about 8 strong guys pushing the boat & trailer. Just what Jacky was concerned about. It took nearly 30 mins for them to get the boat and trailer around and I spent that time reducing the air pressure in my tyres some more just be certain. I had some advice previously from a local person and that was to let your tyre pressures down and drive like you stole it. With that in mind it was into 2^nd gear low and put the foot down, with the revs near 4000 we powered through without any issues. From there it was up past Champagne Pools and onto the Waddy Point track. I had booked the beachfront site not aware that there were sites in a sheltered, enclosed area near the ranger’s house. We initially thought about moving in on one of these sites even though booking system showed them all booked but it turned out the beachfront site was quite sheltered by the point and even though it was quite windy in other places on the island it didn’t get stronger than a slight breeze on the beachfront site. All Jacky was looking forward to was 5 nights in the one place.
