Fraser Island Australia
is the land of perched lakes. More than half of the world’s perched lakes, 40
in number, are found here on the island. One of them is Lake McKenzie which is
a natural wonder in itself. With an ultimate scenic landscape, crystal clear
water and pristine sands, it is the right spot for a picture-perfect holiday
card
Located 100 metres above
sea level within a sand hill, it is one of the most visited destinations on the
island. Most of the Fraser Island
Tours make sure the tourists
get a look at the lake and have a good time there.
But what exactly is a
perched lake? It is a water body filled with rainwater. It isn’t branched to
any outside water source like the streams and the ocean. This is the reason why
the lake waters are extremely pure. It is like a paradise on the largest sand
island in the world. The Fraser Island adventure tours are incomplete without a
visit to this perched lake.
But it might cross your
mind – how do the waters remain crystal clear? It is all because of the white
silica sand present on the island. It purifies the rainwater giving the lake a
shade of blue and green hues. Moreover, the plantation, the sand and mud at the
bottom of the lake act as a basin and form a protective layer to prevent the
rainwater from flowing out of the dune. The silica sands make for an excellent
exfoliator – did you know that?
Lake McKenzie isn’t very
deep, only 5 metres, and stretches for over 1.2 kilometres. It is a perfect
spot for a swim. However, since Fraser Island tourism is all about protecting
the island’s heritage, the visitors are advised to not take a dip in the waters
if they are wearing oils, lotions or sunscreen. Sans them, you can have a fun
time swimming in one of the most beautiful lakes of Fraser Island Australia.
Do you know the spot has
amazing camping facilities for hikers? Ahaan! People hiking on Fraser’s can
find respite at Lake McKenzie and go visit all the popular destinations on the
island included in their Fraser Island
Packages. It is that convenient.
If you want to enjoy a small picnic with your family, this beautiful perched
lake is the right spot. With such amazing natural surroundings, you’ll have a
great time. Walk on the soft sands or sit on it watching the night sky, your
experience at the lake will be enthralling.
If you’re a curious
traveller and want to know about some of the popular Fraser Island activities
Australia boasts of, chilling at Lake McKenzie is a sure thing.

the world’s largest sand island is done via 4WD and the Sunset Safaris’ cheap
