DAY FIFTEEN: Sand boarding
This has been without doubt Vicki's favourite day. Arriving at the pick up point at lunchtime we were approached by a friendly man with a camouflage hummer we climbed in with another five people to head for the sand dunes (Stockton Bright Sand Dunes) while he told us some interesting facts about them for example, the dunes are 32 km in length and are the fastest moving dunes in the southern hemisphere. Whilst travelling through the dunes it was hard core off road terrain, we went over some large dunes which tilted the hummer into an almost 90 degree angle as if you were on a roller coaster. When we arrived at the sand boarding location we had a quick tutorial on what to do and we were off at our own pace, as getting back up the dunes was tiring. Speeding down the dunes was fast and exciting whilst getting sand everywhere. The views around were spectacular white, golden sands very smooth looking, built up like pyramids. After sand boarding we stopped off at the beach to see Pippi's in their habitat. This location is also home to the filming of the famous movie Mad Max. After the trip we ended the day playing in the surf.
