Visiting Fraser Island is an adventure, and a swim in Lake Birrabeen is a must do. This lake is not as famous as Lake McKenzie, but is even more beautiful. Cristal clear water, many different water colours and the white sand makes this lake unique. Don't miss it! More

We visited lake Birrabeen in September 2011, it was early morning and we had driven down the beach from Orchid Beach before sunrise to catch the falling tide. This lake is so much less famous than Lake Mackenzie but so much more serene and reflective. There were toilets near by, plenty of parking and some nice walks by the lake... More

It's a really awesome view and the lake is crystal clear. Awesome to swim in on a hot summer day!!! It was winter when I went so it's a little cold. More

I found this lake quite tropically different to the others. Huge pandanas, varigated bushes and extraordinary flowers. Parrots galore flitting around us. Great natural photography. Very relaxing. More

Beautiful lake, a bit of an experience to get there, wading though the edge of the lake but much quieter than Lake McKenzie - it was a beautiful day and yet those from our tour were the only ones there. More

Lake Birrabeen is less well known than Lake McKenzie, so it has a lot less people. There is more white sand and more blue water at Birrabeen than at... More
