After the Gold Coast we visited Mum’s friend at Tinnanbar on the Great Sandy Straights, from where she lived we could look out across the narrow gap of water to the southern part of Fraser Island. When the tide was out we went for a walk along the sand bars. There were thousands of soldier crabs and it looked like the sand was moving, Lilah caught juvenile toad fish, patted them, said goodbye and put them down again. There were other interesting creatures in the sand as well, some of which looked like they had become stranded when the tide went out.
We also visited the Dolphin Centre at Tin Can Bay to view and feed a wild dolphin that visits the Bay each morning.
