Route/Trail notes

Plenty of scribbly gums, and Banksia along the way. Mostly flat and sandy track with a few faller trees to climb over. The camp itself is fenced from dingos and has a separate fenced eating area. There are designated camping spots with picnic tables and metal boxes to keep your food safe from dingos. A short walk from the camp is Lake McKenzie - great for a swim after the walk in.

$60 walk on ferry cost (http://www.fraserislandferry.com.au/barges/fraser-venture-barge.html)

Comments

Great day walk (return). Lake McKenzie is spectacular and well worth the hike there. Fabulous as the only camping permitted there is solely for hikers.

Fabulous as a day walk or to overnight at Lake McKenzie. There is a couple of different options for the route from Kingfisher Bay to Lake McKenzie. Lake McKenzie is spectacular and so well worth the hike.
