Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora)

Yes it really does look like this.

Lake McKenzie is 1,200 metres long and up to 930 metres wide. It is approximately 150 hectares in area.

The sands around the lake are composed of pure, white silica and the water in the lake is also so pure it is unsuitable for many species.

We thought that Whitehaven beach on Whitsunday Island was the purest and whitest of them all ... not according to Fraser Island. Again, a great beach as the sand is so fine and doesn’t heat up.

Because the sand is so pure it’s suggested that it’s used to exfoliate, wash hair with it as it makes hair very soft (simply scrubbed my scalp) and it can be used to clean jewellery. We were so smooth after our time here.
