Rainbow Beach

We didn't see any rainbows in Rainbow Beach but we did see some multicoloured sand and an enormous sand dune (the Carlos Sandblow) on the top of a cliff.



Rainbow Beach is a small town on the Fraser Coast, it only has 1000 people living in the town. We planned to have 2 nights here, which in hindsight was probably too long at this time of year (winter). It was a bit too chilly to sunbathe on the beach so we headed to the tourist information office to ask about any walks/sights in the area.

Something we have noticed about the Queensland Aussies - they seem to have lost the use of there legs. They drive everywhere and also like maniacs. So when we asked how far away the sandblow was, the first thing they asked was did we have a car. After the look of horror had passed from the info blokes face, he told us it would take about 40mins to walk as it was uphill all the way. That was fine with me as it would be downhill all the way back.
