Sand Crater

No idea how this might have happened, but it was an interesting find.
I have always loved the patterns left in sand by the out going tide.

Sand Monster

They are really fast and most people don't notice them. I had to ramp the camera up to 1/4000 sec.

Sand v B-Double

The most interesting thing I have seen involving sand this year was at a Freedom Camp on the NSW side of the Murray River.

A young B-Double driver, on his maiden trip from Melbourne to Adelaide decides he needs a rest at about 2am.

Instead of pulling into one of the many Truck stops, he mistakenly pulls in, at speed, to the Lake Benanee Free Camp, careers past the campers parking area, down the slope towards the Lake, until he sees the water, just metres ahead in the dark, slams on the brakes and buries himself axle deep in the sand.

14 hours later, after countless digging and towing attempts, he is finally free, to the cheers of the grey nomad onlookers. Leaving only his tyremarks in the Sand for future visitors to ponder.
