Inland from Eurong

For Day 2 we headed out of Eurong towards Central Station, leaving the beach behind for the inland tracks and rainforest section of K’gari.

At Central Station we parked up and hiked to Basin Lake. After the walk we returned to the vehicles for lunch, then headed on to Lake McKenzie for the afternoon.

From there it was back to Eurong, with ice creams to finish the day.
