Sanctuary Lakes Icon
We had the chance in our Australia tour to stop by Sanctuary lake. All the family was more than happy to discover this lovely place with birds turtles and such a nice area. It was quite and simple. Besides the welcomed advises and support we got by Feb and Rob that helps us for the attraction around and allowed to keep the room while we were at Fraser island was more than appreciated. Thanks.
