Back to the Seaside

RAINBOW BEACH Another really lovely coastal town, great atmosphere and not too touristy. The caravan park filled up yesterday with families coming here for the weekend, nice to see people making the most of the great outdoors. Have had a few swims in the sea, divine!
COLOURED SANDS Further along from Rainbow Beach is this section of coloured sand, similar to what we saw in North Queensland near Hopevale. You can drive along the beach, one of the few spots where vehicles are permitted on the beach. This photo was taken from the top of Carlo Sand Blow.
CARLO SAND BLOW above the beach, it seemed a shame to walk on the sand and leave our footprints. In the distance is Double Island Point, this sand blow is similar to what you see on the east coast of Fraser Island which is just north of here. Para and hang gliders take off from here, they must be pooped just getting the gear to the top ready for take off.
