Rainbow Beach Access and Bistro

We have just returned from a quick getaway to Cooloola and Rainbow Beach in QLD.

The weather was good and a big fire helped keep the chill away at sunset. Driving conditions were good and the beach very quite and not too soft.

We decided to take the inland track from Freshwater Camp to Rainbow beach for lunch as it was high tide and would try the beach road back at low tide.

We passed the new showers and toilet dump station at Freshwater Camp and this is a big improvement. I hope to see some of these along the beach soon.





Our lunch was one of the best we have had in a long time. We found a new bistro at the top of Rainbow Township near the walking track to the sand blow.

The view is one of the best around and we saw a few whales in the water below. The Bistro is worth a visit and is an upmarket licensed family restaurant with a great menu and atmosphere. Here is a link to there site if you wish to have a look.

After Lunch we took the beach road back to Cooloola. It was easy to pass the rocks at Rainbow Beach but the last few hundred meters at th end of the beach is almost gone.



We had to wait until the low tide and then still idle through some water to get around the trees. I would say this road will be closed for good in a few months if not sooner.

People traveling through to Fraser will have to start using the highway soon.





Hope you all have a good weekend.

Regards

Derek.
