This ridiculously picturesque spot that looks like it belongs to some South Pacific island is, in fact, Lake MacKenzie, a freshwater lake on K’gari filled entirely by rainwater.

It’s also nowhere near as warm as it looks. Not pictured: me wearing jeans and a jumper.

Somehow Erin still managed a lil swim despite the fact that the sand was LITERALLY COLD TO THE TOUCH.

@neverendingvoyage Been there thankfully to my son and seen that tree.
@garyloc Sweet! Good on your boy for arranging that—definitely worth the visit!
@neverendingvoyage absolutely love K’gari, my wife and I hired a 4WD over there on our honeymoon. Can’t wait to go back!
@MFAZ Nice! It is a grand old adventure for sure!
