Rainbow Beach is a small town on the cost of Queensland but was my gateway to the largest sand island in the world Fraser! I took a 4x4 self drive safari with Dingos, the hostel I was staying in, in Rainbow Beach. The hostel itself was good with cheap grub and a very social atmosphere. Unfortunately my bus was 1.5 hours late so there was a mad rush to get to the briefing on time. I was put into a group of 9, which later proved to be an excellent bunch with a good dynamic. The 4x4s could hold 11 so our 9 fitted comfortably. We shared the driving, though some were a little more frightening than others. The roads were not roads but deep sand full of roots and potholes! It was really good fun, ... read more

Got the 9:35am bus to Rainbow Beach... Lucy was in a mood because I told her to hurry up! Shame on me... Said goodbye to Gerry and may meet up with her down the track. After 3 hours on the bus we arrived at Rainbow Beach where i haven't seen either a beach or a rainbow. We met 2 really nice Scottish sisters on a sea-kayaking trip which unfortunately got cancelled because the sea was too rough (so it was a v. short trip). Organised our Fraser Island trip (we decided not to do the self-drive as we'd probably get stuck with a bunch of dickheads and also it means we can get it done quicker and move up the coast). Painted a boomerang this afternoon which was cool, and also bumped into Phyllis from the ... read more

So called for its magnificent rainbow coloured cliffs..... orange, brown, yellow, orange, different shade of orange..... not exactly rainbow coloured but pretty anyhow... think I got one shot from distance. Anyway there was nothing there, its a drop off point for Fraser Island and seeing as not going there as couldn't be bothered doing the whole four wheel drive thing and wanted to sort out diving I only stayed one night and a morning. There were five/seven shops and thats it.... interesting one might say??? BUT went sea Kayaking where saw a turtle and loadsa dolphins which came really close to us right under mine and sarahs Kayak actually... was playing games and watching us... so cool. Besides being splashed in face with sea water by Sarah and then proceeding in smacking her accidently of course ... read more
