Off for a trip up the Noosa north shore tomorrow and wondered if anyone had recently driven the Freshwater road from
the beach up to the main road to
Rainbow Beach.
It's been quite a long time since I have been up that way so have forgotten the main route from
the beach. The Kings
Bore track is only one way at
the beach so we will need to use one of the other tracks and thats were the Freshwater road comes in.
I have looked at the Qld gov web site and they reported back on 25 November that Freshwater was very soft and rough in sections.
If anyone has been through this area since Nov 25 I would appreciate your feedback.
For those interest, this the link to the
Cooloola conditions report.

i was up there a couple of weeks back and will agree with that report. we came home from Inskip via Freshwater track and along
the beach to Noosa etc.
closer to
Rainbow was pretty corrogated, as you got nearer to the Teewah beach end it became pretty soft in some
places, easy for us as we were going downhill, but heading back to
Rainbow would have been a little harder to negotiate in some
places.
just looked at BOM site and some storms are heading roughly that way, so possibly rain this arvo could change all that.

I was there last weekend and the road was good except for the first say 3km on Cooloola side.
It had some soft spots and a few big bumps / holes but not too bad at all.

Thanks guys for your feedback. We are away in 40 minutes if I can get the females of the party ready to leave on time! That might be harder than traveling the track.
