DESPITE spending the day hiking across coastal sand dunes, I only caught one brief glance of the sea (Cooloola Cove). Such is the expansiveness of the Great Sandy National Park.
The rainforest of yesterday wouldn't be repeated, with most of the forest on the meandering tops of the sand dunes being dry eucalypt or sclerophyll in the gullies. Low cloud clung to these dunes through much of the morning, creating a surreal misty atmosphere to this remote trek.
Towards the end of the day the sun did come out as I dropped into a valley, then over another huge forested dune to drop into the Litoria campsite in time for a red sunset through the trees.
