Eating dirt.....Moreton Bay/Island (Queensland)

Spent a day on picturesque Moreton Island which is approximately 2 hours by boat from the port of Brisbane where, aswell as seeing dolphins in their natural habitat and lovely beaches, I also tried sand boarding. What is sand boarding, I hear you say? In true Aussie style, it's what it says on the tin. You lie face down and throw yourself off a tall, steep sand dune on a small, waxed piece of plywood. And then you spend 10 seconds eating sand and when you get to the bottom of the dune, the remainder of the sand dune has worked itself into every orifice of your body. I don't think I will be rushing to try it again.
