Tamworth to Inskip towing

caravan is 1.9t loaded. Soft roader (Jayco Outback pop-top) I wasn't actually thinking of going up the beach thru Tewantin. I know that area reasonably well and didn't think the van would get thru to Rainbow? I was thinkoing of going thru Gympie but would be open to suggestions.

A friend of mine just spent 5 days parked up on that beach.

Took his Bushtracker and F250 along the beach.

Thanks for that mate - do you reckon you could get out up at Rainbow beach ok?

I'm sure if he can pull one of those around I can manage mine. I suppose the trick is to keep to the low tides but are there any narrow/dodgy spots further north?

Low tide and come out the same way you went in: at the southern end.

2 weeks ago, 2 hrs to 3 hrs after high tide rainbow was not passible.
The entrance onto rainbow beach from leisha track was maybe 2 cars wide where it entered the beach, water was still up to the dunes and a lot of trees where lying in the water. It may be passable at very low tide but I didnt stick around that long to find out, it was blowing an absolute gale.

Now that might be worth a look at - I'm familiar with that run or even thru Baraba, Warialda, Goondi.........still have Kingaroy, Kilkivan, what's that run like for hills?

I must confess I'm not familiar w/- the Dalby > Kingaroy section, and it should be noted that this road passes pretty close to the Bunya Mts, so you can expect some 'undulations'.. That said, it's all farming country thru there, so I wouldn't expect anything too steep..

Thru Goomeri, Kilkivan, yeah, 'undulating' country, but I can't think of anything that would be a cause for concern... South of Goomeri there's some half-decent hills, but you can get a run at 'em, so you don't lose much momentum on these:)

We live in Toowoomba & go via Crows Nest, Yarraman etc when we head that way, & there's some steepish windy sections 'round Cooyar - Yarraman, but I've never considered 'em to be any kind of a concern (our CT is pushin' 2t loaded)...

Catch ya later.. Ed C
