The Great Sandy Strait is an 70 km Australian sand passage estuary separating mainland Queensland, from World Heritage listed Fraser Island.
The day began like this at 8:45am; Blue skies with low lying fog over Fraser Island.
The closer we got to Fraser Island, the thicker the fog, and the worse the visibility became with no blue sky in sight...
Around 1pm, blue skies reappeared above and a 'Fogbow' appeared. A fogbow is a phenomenon similar to a rainbow, produced by sunlight shining on fog.
As we headed back to the Mainland, the fog continued to lift...
And the sky was the most beautiful blue with white fluffy clouds...

Magnificent photos! What an amazing day.
Oh, I really enjoyed the sky, the clouds, the water! So beautiful and peaceful!
Even in the fog, these are some awesome scenes! The blue sky is just phenomenal.
How gorgeous - and that foglow is amazing!
Great photos! Love the blue water, the beautifully formed clouds, the reflections and the magnificent rainbow. The first photo with the birds is splendid, this is my favourite one. This must have been a wonderful trip!

Fabulous! I love the second photo of the boat!
I've only seen a fogbow once. It was a foggy day on our lake and we were trying to get to town. We stopped in the fog to wait it out, and just as it started to clear the fogbow appeared. Quite an experience! - Margy
I've never heard of a fogbow before, much less seen one, but its quite a sight.
All the blue is just stunning, and the clouds almost look unreal. Amazing shots!

Fantastic photos, Liz. I know I've said it before, but I was so pleased you could have that time while I was working up there. The fogbow is great.
