Rainbow Beach Rocks, impassable twice....

Hi,

One point of reference is to have a look at the EPA website where you can download the conditions report. The problem with it is that it is generally a week or so out of date but is still a useful guide. The current one lists the beach between Rainbow Beach and the Leisha Track closed due to erosion. This has been made worse by the recent large seas and big tides. My family live at Rainbow Beach and it has been this way for some time now. The folk at the local Shell garage can also give you an update as can the local RACQ guys.

Mate I can't help with where the information is contained nor the quality of advice given by individuals, I was just giving you a tip on some sources of information that I know of. Incidentally you will find the conditions report it in with the online camping bookings.
One of the best sources of advice in that area is to have a look for yourself, see if other vehicles are getting through and know exactly what the state and height of the tide will be and had there been any big seas recently such as from the recent cyclone which may have eroded the beach. I have sat down by Mudlo Rocks a lot over the years and ultimately it comes down to a decision the driver makes at the time. Some of those decisions people have made have proven very costly. People try to get around there on the top part of the incoming tide and wonder why they get caught at times. As far as signs go they get vandalised very regularly in the area so I am not convinced this would work.
Hope you enjoyed your trip.
