We drove to Lake Mackenzie first thing which due to its business proved less serene than the lake the day before.It took a mad rush as we tried to fit in everything we wanted to do that day and involved some bone jangling drives severe enough to loose anything not tied down .
The wreck of the Scottish Leisure Liner produced some great photographic moments and we even managed to spot some distant whale spouts out to sea at Waddy Point. Alas the whales themselves were too hard to see without binoculars.
The sand cliffs between the Wreck and Waddy Point were awesome too and hard to believe they were completely made of silica crystals!
We allowed Caitlin to drive some of the way back along the beach and after a little fear on her behalf she quickly found the accelerator and managed a steady 60km//hr for a reasonable section . Good thing there was no motorway police!
We returned to the campsite just before dusk to the eerie calls of the bird life which this time sounded like pterodactyls and finished our last full day on Fraser sadly.
We did manage to see a dingo but only on the next day as we drove back to the ferry and it ran alongside the car posing for photos!
I will not relate to you our adventures in Dreamworld as one theme park is much like the next but will say they had some amazing tigers there.
And so ends our Queensland holiday and we left just wishing we could have had a bit longer - always a good note to finish on!
