Dead Japanese teenagers were found in Australia´s Lake McKenzie after being reported missing from a school trip.
The bodies of the two boys were discovered by police gendarmes on Saturday morning, while police officer Tony Claus said the authorities would interview witnesses to determine what happened at the famous tourist destination, which the mayor described as "a quiet lake in the center of the island. "
"It is a tragic accident, there is no doubt about it," he told reporters. "There is always a risk when entering the waterways," he told reporters. "I do not know whether the 16-year-old boys can swim or not."
Lake Makenze is the best picture on the postcards of Fraser Island, where all the tourists go, "said Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour of ABC.
"In fact, you can not imagine how a person, not to mention two people, could sink in. It´s a quiet lake in the middle of the island," he said.
The boys were not with their families on the trip when their disappearance was reported on Friday, Klose said.
Lake McKenzie is 350 km north of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.
