The very beautiful Lake McKenzie on Fraser Island in Queensland. Yes the sand is really that white and yes the water is really that blue and turquoise. Nothing can prepare you for its beauty, you truly have to see it for yourself. It is breathtaking and like heaven on earth. "There are many different aspects to Fraser Island, but the awe-inspiring beauty of Lake McKenzie makes it probably the most visited 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. The sand and organic matter at the base of the lake form an impervious layer, preventing rainwater 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." www.visitfrasercoast.com/Detail/ID/Lake-McKenzie
