I think that is Eli Creek. Quite a few cars get destroyed there. Basically people try to cross it and get stuck. If you get stuck below the high tide
line then the tide will come and get you. I think the tide came over that car, pushed it onto it's side, sunk it into the sand, and then receeded
again.

Insurance? - I doubt it.
A lot of digging to get it out I imagine.

That first one is a fake. I've seen it on a few forums now and even had it sent to me from England. Apparently the original pic has a sick turtle

Oooh, this brings back horrible memories when I had trouble with the V8 Touareg at Indian Head during a test drive.
Luckily we discovered the computer was keeping us bogged down, and once we turned it off, we were out in a matter of minutes.
Scary stuff, though. Tide coming in and a $120,000 vehicle looking like a temporary reef with each passing minute.
Only problem at Fraser, is that most people don't help if you get stuck. The parasites sit there waiting to see if it will go under. They do the same
for older vehicles, not just wanker luxury 4WD's. I thought it might have been the novelty of seeing a VW going under, but I was told it happens to
anyone who gets bogged. I should have taken a picture of the crowd - there would have been enough bodies to lift it up and carry it out. It seems to
be a sad culture developing on the beach.
I still shudder at what could have been though!

If you're driving on an area that requires the vehicle to be registered, your insurance would be "active".

not so sure anymore...
insurance companies have now bought in 'black spot areas' and its written in the small print....their tired of paying for ppl who go offroading
without bothering to do any courses, or check how to read the areas right.
So if u get into trouble in a black spot, such as eli...u might just find ur insurance company isnt going to cover u...that its a black spot
listed...
So before u head off for offroading double check with ur insurance company for a list of any area they will no longe rcover in their policy....
dubless. 
 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my
house??? |

So people won't help you if you get bogged on Farse Island and the tide's coming in. That sucks major. I really dislike the way that our culture is
going in some regards.
At Glamis in Sand Dune Heaven in Southern California the standers-by will watch you try to get yourself out of being bogged and if you can't do it
yourself then they will help you out and wait around for the next hapless victim. They sit around with eskys and mobile barbeques under beach
umbrellas at the known bogging spots and pass gratuitous comments and mock you, while you struggle with your bogged car, but they will eventually help
you out. They just wait until another car's coming.

the thing that looks disturbing in the first picture is the water wake and waves in front of the car. Looks like a pretty good photoshop job but the
wake looks like its going the wrong way??
I agree though in some areas people are destroying the beach culture and the same goes for bush culture. Too many self important's getting out now
days...

It's fake, I remember when this went around as email spam years ago, then the real pic went around where the car was in fact something like a sea
turtle. Just tried a google search to try and find the real pic but to no avail.

I have seen cars sink at Eli Creek in a matter of minutes. there is a pic on here somewhere that I took of my uncle towing out a troopy ute with his
dual cab. that was at Eli. It flows pretty quick and uneducated idiots see it and think" what a great place to park my car on the edge and go for a
swim". Except the weight of the car and speed at which the water flows erodes the bank and the car then falls into the water. The Troopy ute was only
a couple of weeks old and literally ended up almost on it's side in about 5-10 minutes.the 3 guys with it were panicking as they couldn't do a
thing. We came up the beach and saw them waving madly so went over to help. Everyone out and throw the snatch strap on and plucked it out as the car
started to tilt even more. Owner was nearly in tears and was so thankfull he offered 2 cartons and cash LOL. It was VB so we declined and told him to
be carefull next time. Being that I am tour driver on Fraser in big buses I have seen rival companies get stuck at Eli because of stupidity and driver
error.
Driving on the beach isn't as easy everyone thinks. I've been doing it for 15 plus years and am still learning things as the beach changes all the
time.
