Mr. Moroney discovered the beautiful natural phenomenon when he decided to take some photos of Cakora Lake after a storm passed last July.
“From the ground up, it just looks like a normal lake and I haven’t given it much thought,” Mr Moroney told Daily Mail Australia.
When the photographer looked at the photos he took, he was stunned.
“I was in awe of what Mother Nature had created and how so many people didn’t get to see it,” said Mr. Moroney.
“The photo was taken at a height of 119 meters, so it would be impossible for someone not on a plane to see it.”
The breathtaking photos have stunned people all over the world and made the photographer and the small town of Brooms Heads famous. Pictured: Cakora Lake emptied after a storm came through about a week earlier
When the storm subsides, the water drains, but the heavy, brown oil remains in the crevices of Lake Cakora, which are patterned in the shape of a tree. Pictured: Cakora Lake drained after a storm hit
The incredible visibility is caused by tea tree oil settling into the natural trails of the lake after a storm.
The lake is connected to a beach and an estuary covered with tea trees, Mr. Moroney explained.
When a storm fills the lake and the water reaches the beach, the tides push the water and oil back.
