There are many different aspects to Fraser Island, but the awe inspiring beauty of Lake MacKenzie makes it probably the most visited natural site on the island.
It is a perched lake, which means it contains only rain water, no groundwater, is not fed by streams and does not flow to the ocean. The sand and organic matter at the base of the lake form an impervious layer, preventing rain water from draining away.

The sand here is pure, white silica and is not only beautiful to look at but feels beautifully soft to walk on. The sand acts as a filter, giving the water its clarity and helping to make the water so pure it can support very little life. The blues and greens of the lake are endlessly fascinating and it’s well worth getting up early to look across it in the soft light of dawn.
There are good camping facilities here, each site having its own camp fire with wood provided. Toilets and cold showers are nearby.
