Hey guys,
I am heading up to the sunshine coast next weekend, and will be doing a day trip up the beach from Noosa North Shore, up to Double Island Point and on to Rainbow Beach.
Here is a link to a map and also to visitor info

Would love to come but would take me a week to get there!! hahahaha
hahah i was there for 5 days a few weeks ago. its a ausome place make sure u have a look at ground water road road its the 26km one thats in the middle that has beach access it is much nicer to drive sorta like driving threw a rain forrest. there is nothing there that a patroll cant do
its also a good idea to stop at the park infomation place and ask if any roads are closed its always quicker lol
Yeah I have been there once before but not inland so I will have to check it out. Yeah I was gonna go past the great sandy information centre to check all those things.
we did it the long way lol . i was quite suprised with how nice the inland tracks where. i took some pics if u want to look at the thred i madeQuote:

the other access track that we used was the freshwater track bad corrigations at the start then a few steep bits and also closer to the beach you get the deeper the sand on the track gets and softer but very seinic drive
soo good luck have a great day
Heres what your missing if you haven't been there.

AWESOME TRIP isn't it - we just literally got back from 3 days of camping on Teewah Beach. Did the full run from Tewantin to Inskip Point and a couple of 4x4 tracks on the way ... Kings Bore track back out to the beach was washed away but OOOPSIE didn't know till we got to the top of the last decent on the one way track!! Awesome fun getting down & out onto the beach!!
Great shots Warnie. Just love the beach. Will defiantly have to go there one day.
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 !Quote:

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 ?
Are these tracks on maps?? I got a Cooloola coastal map which has a fair few tracks marked - gonna do every single one before I die .. LOL (of fright that is)Quote:

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.
We just had our (late) chrissy party at rainbow beach caravan park. I went for a surf at the freshwater track entrance, you might of seen meQuote:

nah mate I didnt. I just drove down freshwater, found a pretty good bank at the entrance to the track and stayed there and came back through freshwater tide was too high to get back to rainbow along the beachQuote:

One of the best places in this fair land to camp. I can't get enough of this place.
Looking at going up this long weekend. Going to be great.
