There are many different aspects to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island), but the awe-inspiring beauty of Lake McKenzie makes it a must-see natural site on the island. It is a 'perched' lake, which means it contains only rainwater, no groundwater, is not fed by streams and does not flow to the ocean.
Do you need a 4WD to get to Lake McKenzie?
Lake McKenzie is accessed via 75 Mile Beach and inland tracks, with the beach section best driven at low to mid-tide for firm sand.
