Lake McKenzie
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We hired a 4x4 to visit Kgari and stopped for an hour at Lake McKenzie. The sand is the whitest, softest sand, water clear. Absolutely stunning.
There was a fair few people there but nothing that made it seem busy.
Could have sunbathed their all day it was beautiful.

Inskip Point
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The beach at Inskip Point is just beautiful and the views over to Fraser Island are amazing. The sand is so fine it squeaks when you walk on it. The waters are warm and calm and there is about a 10m shallow sand area before it drops off into deeper water. There is no coral here but plenty of small f...

Retro Espresso Tiaro
Cafe

Like ste...
