    Isn't that a great track, the very end is pretty much always a bit of a drop off into the washout, sometimes it can turn into quite a boggy little hole, sounds like you had a great trip !

    used to live just up the road from the area for most of my life, you can go the inland way through boreen point behind tewantin up an old loggin trail and goes past the turnoff for harrys hut, it eventually comes out just up the rd from Rainbow beach so is a good way to go if the tide is high and takes half the time. Lots of tracks branch off behind the dunes from this old dirt rd aswell and you can do some interesting tracks to say the least. one track we cam across lead us all the way to the top of one of the massive dunes so we could look right up and down the beach from the highest view point. You will also find lots of fresh watter creeks and holes out that way that are great for a swim if ya dont mind the tee tree stained waters, mrs reakons its good for ya skin so may be a good place to take the chooks along.

    Their is more than meets the eye in that area if you take the time to explore.

    Are you talking about "Cooloola Way" Dozer , the track between Kin Kin road and Rainbow beach road ?

    I was up this way again yesterday to show by brothers from Melbourne some of the natural beauties that are so close to those of us who live up this way. Had a great time again. Went from noosa all the way up to rainbow via double island point. Had a good swim at the point, catching/getting bowled over by some decent sized waves.

    Word of warning the beach is a little eroded at the moment and should not be tackled at high tide. I saw a lot of tyre tracks on the high side of the eroded beach on very narrow passings. This reminded me of what happened to Steve (04OFF) and the dangers that come with it. So be careful out there so everyone can continue to enjoy the things we like.to do.
    They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
