Swimming in Rainbow Beach
We decided to stay in Rainbow Beach because that was the town we were going to be picked up in for our tour of Fraser Island.
It was a rainy evening but that didn't stop us from going to the beach. Rainbow Beach was given that name because of it's colourful sands. There is an aboriginal legend of the rainbow serpent. On our walk we saw some surfers and finally got to swim in the ocean ourselves( now that we're further south and the water temperature is colder the box jellyfish are dying off). After our swim it started to pour and we spotted some rainbows. Which was ironic because we were in RAINBOW BEACH.
