Day 33 Tuesday 13th August Fabulous Four Wheel Driving!

After breakfast today we all set off in the Toyota to drive along the beach from Tewantin (North Noosa) to Rainbow Beach. We stopped at a ranger station to purchase the required permit before taking the ferry over to the beach.  Rob let the air out of the tyres before we drove on the sand. We all really enjoyed the drive of about 70 kms along the beach. Rob did a wonderful job driving and all went very well. There were many groups camped at various spots on the beach and we saw quite a few people fishing and searching for worms and cockles. Rob even spotted one fisherman carrying a flathead back to his camp. We passed some of the beautiful rainbow cliffs before arriving safely at the small town of Rainbow Beach. Here we all had a delicious lunch at the Surf Life-Saving Club. Rob and I enjoyed a barramundi dish. From here we drove down to Inskip Point. Here we could easily see Fraser Island and the barge that takes the vehicles across to Fraser Island. It is so close from here that I think on a nice day I would be able to kayak to the island. There are many sheltered, comfortable camping spots at Inskip Point and one day we may bring the caravan here. We returned to our home on the main road, travelling through Gympie.
