Rainbow Beach

With my car I went from Noosa Via Gympie to Rainbow Beach.
I`ve spend the last couple of days here exploring the area, testing my backpack and planning my trip to Fraser.

On Rainbow Beach I`ve been to Carlos Sanddune; a HUGE sanddune of which I made some nice pictures. (to be uploaded soon...) And I`ve walked a lot on the beach, passing colored sand cliffe.

Before I arrived I thought about joining a 4x4 group for 2 or 3 days, but after seeing how many people go in there, I decided to walk the Island instead.

It will take me a few days more, but will also let me enjoy it more and come (camp) to places where cars cant come. The "bad" thing is that there are no resources on Fraser; no shops, no stores, no telephones... like allmost nothing. So what I need to go is carry everything I need for 8 days. Inlcuding tent, sleeping bag, mat, food... Quite a heavy backpack sadly.

This are 4 links:
Fraser Island
Fraser Island Great Walk
Fraser Island Map
Fraser Island Photo`s (I havent looked at the photo`s yet...)

And this is the planning I got.

• 10 Rainbow Beach to Lake Boomanjin.
• 11 Lake Benaroon
• 12 Central Station
• 13 Lake McKenzie
• 14 Lake Wabby
• 15 Valley of the giants
• 16 Lake Garawongera
• 17 Happy Valley
• 18 Rainbow Beach

So, with allmost everything packed I`m ready to go again, this time only for 8 days ;-).

Till then.
