Fraser Island

I’d like to visit Fraser Island someday. You see, it has these super ultra blue lakes that are kept free of just about any growing things as a result of their high pH level. (I learned that on The Savvy Traveller). Wikipedia continues about the lakes:

A popular tourist area is Lake McKenzie which is located inland from the small town of Eurong. It is a “perched” lake sitting on top of compact sand and vegetable matter 100 metres above sea level. Lake McKenzie has an area of 150 hectares and is just over five metres in depth. The beach sand of Lake McKenzie is nearly pure silica and it is possible to wash hair, teeth, jewelry, and exfoliate one’s skin. The lakes have very few nutrients and pH varies, though Sunscreen and soaps are a problem as a form of pollution.

Apparently, the Queensland area food can be darn good too - a mix of native meats/tastes and modern culinary techniques.
