Despite Craig's optimism our third day started out with really heavy rain. Everyone was a bit subdued but still ready for our last day of the tour.
After a long bumpier than usual ride (probably due to the rain) we arrived at the lookout over lake Wabby and the Hammerstone sandblow. We all suited up in our raincoats and a few people in their bin liner makeshift wet weather gear, as we had a 1km walk to the lake and then a 2.4km walk to the beach.
The sandblow and the sand around the lake was a stark contrast to the other sand we had seen as it was very yellow, a bit like building sand. The water of lake Wabby was emerald green even towards then edges although it did lighten.
The wet walk back to the beach was final straw with most people, we accepted defeat, the final day was just going to be a wash out. It was a bit of a shame but we still managed to have a laugh on the bus with dingo mad Helen and her friend Jo.
Craig then took us for our buffet lunch at another resort where we got to dry out for a while and fill up on great food.
We then had one place left visit before the end of the tour, lake something. We were all good sports and marched down to the lake (yes, it was still raining) and took a few piccies and a quick look around and then marched straight back to the bus.
It was then back to the resort to wait for ferry, so true to form we headed for the bar for a cheeky one.
