sand spear pump on noosa north shore

Hi Petanbro, I copied this off the QLD Govt Environment and Resource Management Site.

Dont know how far up the beach you are going but would expect the Shire or whatever it is called now at Noosa would have similar restrictions up to the Park boundary. Someone who lives up that way may know for certain.
"Fresh water obtained from pools, creeks or from sub-surface supplies on Teewah Beach is not suitable for drinking, cooking, showering or swimming. The use of portable sand spears to collect sub-surface water from the foredune areas is an offence and is not permitted. Fresh water is available at the Freshwater day-use area and campground. Treat all water before drinking."
Just spent 4 days on Teewah, Hot but nice to veg out from work.
Cheers

Petanbro,

The reasons for the banning of sand spears in that area are reasonable, especially at this time of the year. Over the last month there would have been thousands of peaople there. Where do you think all those people went to the toilet?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

That link says they are banned in the foredunes. It doesn't say they are banned on the beach.
