Lake Boomanjin is the famous 'tea tree' lake found on Fraser Island, or K'gari, the largest sand island in the world. Lake Boomanjin is easily distinguished from Fraser Island's many other famous lakes, as it has the unique quality of a red hue and is the largest in size! The lake itself is surrounded by soft white sands and the air smells of tea trees, the same plants that give the lake its name and colour. It is undoubtedly one of the most unique lakes on one of the most unique islands in the world, and worth a visit during a visit to K'gari. 

Double Island Point is a sandy spit found in the Cooloola National Park. It's not actually an island in any way, but rather the end of sand dune that extends into the ocean. From a distance the point can appear to look like two islands, which is how it earned its name many years ago from Captain Cook.
