Boorangoora (Lake Mckenzie)
Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie) is one of the island’s most iconic and photographed locations. This perched freshwater lake is filled only by rainwater, no streams or groundwater flow in or out making its crystal-clear waters incredibly pure. The lake’s soft, white silica sand not only looks beautiful but also acts as a natural filter, giving the water a vibrant turquoise hue. It’s the perfect spot for a swim, a picnic, or simply soaking in the serene atmosphere. The Butchulla People, the Traditional Owners of K’gari, hold this lake in cultural significance, and its protected status ensures its natural beauty remains pristine.
Eli Creek
Eli Creek is the largest freshwater creek on the island’s eastern beach, pumping millions of litres of crystal-clear water into the ocean every day. Visitors can walk along the boardwalk and gently float down the shallow stream, making it a relaxing and refreshing stop. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this creek is a favourite among nature lovers and photographers. It’s also a great spot to cool down on a hot day and connect with K’gari’s unique hydrology.
Maheno Shipwreck
The rusted remains of the SS Maheno, a former luxury passenger liner turned WWI hospital ship, are a striking sight along the shore. Washed ashore by a cyclone in 1935, the wreck now stands as a haunting and beautiful relic of maritime history. It’s not just a photo opportunity—visiting the Maheno is a chance to reflect on the island’s layered past and the power of nature.
Wanggoolba Creek & Central Station Rainforest
Once a bustling logging settlement, Central Station is now a peaceful rainforest destination showcasing K’gari’s rare ecology. Walkways meander beneath towering satinay trees and along Wanggoolba Creek, a crystal-clear stream that flows silently over pure white sand. It’s a calming, cool retreat and a living example of how rainforest ecosystems can thrive on sand, something unique to this island.
Lake Wabby
Tucked beside the rolling Hammerstone Sand Blow, Lake Wabby is K’gari’s deepest lake and an evolving landscape. Its rich green hue stands in contrast to the golden dunes surrounding it, and the walk in rewards visitors with sweeping views and a refreshing swim. As the dunes slowly shift, the lake is gradually being covered making every visit a fleeting moment in time.
Champagne Pools
Known for their natural “spa-like” feel, the Champagne Pools are formed by volcanic rock and filled by waves that froth and bubble over the edges just like champagne. Located near Indian Head (Takky Wooroo), they’re one of the only safe ocean-side swimming spots and a stunning place to relax and watch the surf crash beyond the rocks.
