23rd - Fraser Island 3/3

We were also lucky to see a lot of dolphins swimming around in the surf at the beaches.
Looking in the opposite direction we even got to see some manta rays!

As we were at Fraser Island two days we got to see the sun rise at the eastern beach. It took the sun less than five minutes to reach the point where it is on the photo after it showed itself over the horizon. You could actually see the sun move.

Lake Wabby; a fresh water lake from a spring. The winds move the sand app. 2 meters a year, meaning that in 50-80 years the lake as we know it will be gone. Instead the spring will be sending the water somewhere else.

Lake McKenzie. A lake only based on rain water, which makes it dependent on the app. 2 meters of rain that falls every year on the island. It was beautiful with its white sand beaches.
