There is still so much freshwater in our sea water up here that it's not an issue....
Bwahahaha classic, you should be working for tourism QLD with comments like that, QLD, the salt free ocean state, i like it.
@3D, yes very lucky, and to have Fraser, Rainbow, DI, Straddie, Bribie all within 3 hrs drive is just gold, plus the weather to enjoy them helps.
The Bribie Lagoons get filled from inland fresh water, and ocean waves that overflow at high tide, when there has been heaps of rain and the lagoons are flowing, it is possible to only have fresh water coming from the lagoons ,especially at low tide when the waves are not backwashing salt water in.
The water is stained brown from the tea tree roots, and the brown is a good indicator of fresh water against the clear salt water, its amazing how many people are happy to drive through salt water tho, and some have new, very expensive cars, and no, its not good for any of them (patrols included)
The people that care about their car , avoid the salt water like the plague.
My mother in law has videos of the recovery trucks on fraser (father in law used to do releif driving for one of the owners ) some people are plain stupid , there are literally dozens of cars buried at eli creek , most because they think its funny to drive up and down it , a car in a flowing beach creek can sink to window level in sand in 6 inches of flowing water , and nowdays all vehicle's must be recovered ,thousands of dollars , always low tide and low on the beach when crossing , and no insurance company will pay for stupidity ,
Sorry I get a bit passionate adout this , as its just one more bit of ammo for the greenies .
