The Beauty of Australia<br />
BY: GRANT CHARLESWORTH<br />
Australia is blessed with hundreds of picture postcard scenes<br />
and Instagram worthy lookouts. If you want to avoid the<br />
crowds however, and see some of Australia’s most beautiful<br />
places, you need to look a bit beyond the icons.<br />
Here are 6 of my favorites...<br />
Lake Mackenzie, Fraser Island<br />
Situated on the beautiful and laid back Fraser Island just off<br />
Queensland’s Sunshine Coast is Lake Mackenzie. A perched<br />
fresh water lake, it boasts crystal clear water and sparkling<br />
white sands. It is perfect for swimming and snorkeling.<br />
Fraser Island is accessible by ferry from Rainbow Beach<br />
and the nearby township of Hervey bay. Fraser Island is a<br />
popular four wheel drive and recreation destination and<br />
is Australia’s biggest sand island. Personally I love Fraser<br />
Island and I have visited there often. I actually began my<br />
career as a guide on Fraser Island driving day tours from<br />
the nearby town of Noosa. The best time to visit Lake<br />
Mackenzie is before 12pm or after 3pm as it can get quite<br />
busy. And you must dive down and see the small turtles<br />
swimming close to the sandy bottom.<br />
