Rainbow Beach

The view of Rainbow Beach from Carlos Sand blow...Just below there are coloured sands

Hey all! The next stop after Hervey bay and Frazer Island was Rainbow Beach. Rainbow was an unexpected but pleasant surprise... it's relaxed and beautiful... reminded me a little of Waiheke. I stayed in Rainbow from June 1 to 10 at a cool hostel called Pippies... it was the first hostel in Australia that is close to the quality of those in New Zealand. I spent most days on the beach... surfing, swimming or just enjoying the sun. I spent my birthday there... pretty low key... my friend Jodi bought me a "Canadian Breakfast"(Pancakes and maple syrup). Couple night we went up to Carlos sand blow to watch the sunset... absolutely awesome! We also brought up a boggieboard to surf down the sand... then to clean up we jumped into the pool at some swanky resort. Another day Jodi and I went sailing with a local guy in Tin Can bay... this guy was the real castaway... he had a bread that put mine to shame. Couple guys I met in Cairns, Tom and Chris, showed up in Rainbow. They convinced me to leave Rainbow and head to Brisbine to watch England's first game of the world cup with our friend

Coloured Sands

How does this work?

We purchasing a skimboard to surf down the sand blow, but it wouldn't slide! So we gave skimboarding a try

Getting the hang of it

After a few big spills we managed to get going... don't I look graceful!
