Yes, and No. As far as I know, the entire 4wd area is in the
recreation area so no dogs, not even in the car. You will need a permit, and lots of mossie repellent.
The only beach/sand area that I know of where you can have a dog these days is
Inskip point. You used to be able to transit dogs through the Cooloola NP to Inskip but are no longer allowed.

As 85% of Bribie is a National Park and 99% of the tracks are in the park you better leave the dog at
home.
As a former resident I would say there are too many dogs on Bribie already LOL

Just by the way - Bribie is also one of the hardest beaches to drive on as it's quite narrow in
places, and the
creek crossing at the start can be a real problem if the tide is not out.
Definitely only a low tide drive...and take lots of mozzie repellent - there are thousands of the fella's.

that second crossing (i think from memory) you do as you head North can get very deep to cross, so make sure you don't leave the run to late in the tides to cross it.
i was up there at xmas time and that crossing 3 hours before high tide had water bonnet deep on a mates Pajero, it was abit above ankle deep on the run up the beach at lowtide.

How is the track from the
carpark to the beach ?
I haven't been up there for years and would like to take the camper van, it used to get chopped up fairly badly

was abit bumpy but doable in 2wd no dramas when i was there at xmas time. take your time and it shouldn't be a problem i wouldn't think, i'd take a van along that track without a worry, just would be pretty slow going, but atleast there's plenty of room to let vehicles get past you.

The inland track has been closed for months due to flooding. There are heaps of tracks on Bribe BUT you can only do one of them, the rest are closed.
The beach is great but if the lagoons are open to the sea, then you get your truck wet with salt water.
By the middle of the winter, I expect and hope that the lagoons are back to lakes with no salt water streams to cross and the inland track open.
NO dogs on the beach or inland track.
I live on Bribie so know the area
well.
Rangers and cops
check for speed, DIC and permits on a regular basis on the beach and inland track which has a speed lmit on it.
There is an EPA site on the net to see the latest on the tracks, I always have to do a seach for it.
