Currimundi Lake

👍👍 Hands down my favourite beach / swimming spot in Queensland. The tidal waters make for various fun aspects to this location. At low tide a small creek type flow is left along the northern cliffs where you can float and jump off the cliffs. The large sand area in the middle is left over to relax and...

👍👍 Great place to escape the city to during any season of the year. In the winter time I enjoy adventuring out along the 10 km hike/bike/running trail, which follows around the edge of the reservoir, through the stunning bush land, and past historical sites. While during the summer months, this is th...

👍 I absolutely loved this little swimming hole. Great place to cool off , just make sure kids know how to swim or have safety gear on. Plus of course adult supervision. Bit slippery on the rocks with moss underneath so be careful.

👍👍 We recently visited Lake Ainsworth, which is situated close to Lennox Head. There's a short walk along the lakeside where you can observe the various water birds & ducks. Also, seating areas & picnic tables under the trees in the shade behind the beach. The water is said to be good for the skin, it...

👍👍 Such a beautiful, calm and clear natural swimming place. Water was so refreshing and cool. Lovely little sandy beach plus well kept lawn, shaded picnic tables and BBQs. Apparently the weekend is pretty busy with Waroona locals, but we went midweek and there was only a handful of people.

👍👍 Nice and kid-friendly lake close to Brisbane. The lake has a reasonably big car park with fairly maintained amenities. During summer and school holidays the lake can get crowded, but it is still toma of fun. The lake is an excellent place to have a swim, paddle-board, kayak and more. At night it’s a...

👍 Absolutely beautiful!! The stars were so pretty at night, almost no need to go somewhere specific to watch stars. If you go here, bring your dog/s, they’ll love it too. The fresh air and breeze is good for animals and humans. I also recommend lighting a fire if you don’t go during the fire-risk seas...
