Lake McKenzie

Continue to the jewel of the island, Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie). Here you’ll have time to swim in the pure, crystal-clear waters and enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch. Your guide will share stories of K’gari’s ecology, native wildlife, and Butchulla culture — including how to safely respect the island’s wongari (dingoes).

In the late afternoon, we travel back to the coast and check in at our exclusive permanent powered camp. Unwind with a sunset platter, followed by a hearty Aussie BBQ dinner under the stars.
