Very early morning and a drive to Tin Can bay to feed the dolphins!
Only one dolphin today and his name is Mystique. He turned up in the bay having been attacked by a shark and barely able to swim.
The rangers stayed with him 24 hours a day for 7 days (they took shifts bathing water over him and feeding fish to get his strength back to survive). When we first saw him in the water he looked pretty battered and scarred with a very manky looking dorsal fin!
Mystique is now 25 and weights 141kg (Dolphins can get up to 220kg and live till approximate 50 years old). It was a bit surreal knowing he wasn't like a Seaworld dolphin and was wild!

At Rainbow Beach we deflated our tyres (22psi recommended) and practiced our sand driving. The Navarra does it easy with great traction and ground clearance....now to head to Fraser Island (maybe...)!

After lunch we went fishing and read our books under the shade of our umbrella.
After having our bait repeatedly stolen by inferior fish, we eventually caught a 15cm whiting -so I chopped him up and used him as bait to teach the other small fish a lesson!!

Alas, no fish caught today.....

Highlight today: sand driving for the first time ever!
