Bummiera (Brown Lake) or Tea Tree Lake Stradbroke Island.
These sacred waters are home to Yuri Kabool, a massive, sacred carpet snake spirit. Local legend says Yuri Kabool doesn't just stay in one place, the spirit travels deep underground through subterranean waterways, moving seamlessly between Bummiera and Kaboora (Blue Lake) because of this, both lakes are approached with reverence.
Traditional Elders would "sing out" to the water to ask for permission before approaching.
Perfectly calm water? The spirit is resting, and it’s safe to visit.
Sudden ripples or bubbles? A strict warning that Yuri Kabool is active and you must stay away. #Dreamtime
