We caught the ferry to Frazer, it was overcast and drizzly. We met Ranger Phil and started our tour. We started on the west coast and drove East throught he native bush. A fairly large carpet Python slithered across the road on the way. Our first stop was McKensie lake, a beautiful lake with white sand and blue waters (ap[parently with lots of minerals and high acid content so great for the skin).

Next we went to the Dreamtime Cultural Centre, which was slightly dissapointing, however we did get to play with boomerangs and watch a digeridoo demonstration which was vcery good, and we were explained about the Aboriginal Rock art meanings.
