Wabby Lake

Title – Wabby Lake
Date – August 1995
Location - Fraser Island – Queensland - Australia

Wabby Lake is famous for the fine sand dunes that lead down to the iridescent blue lakes in the middle of Fraser Island, the world largest sand island off the east coast of Australia. Despite the warning signs, a favourite activity is running and rolling down the dunes into the refreshing water.

The warning signs are there for a reason, the water may look deep and refreshing but it is actually deceptively shallow and this activity has resulted in several people breaking their necks on impact with the shallows.

Warning signs can be obvious, as in this case and simple common sense goes a long way, but many warning signs are not so straight forward. The Beyond The Blue, Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop examines warning signs in many forms and helps candidates attending learn how to behave and react to these warning signs, once they have learnt to identify them.
