Wow! What a day!
An early start -5.15am alarm call for 6.30am pickup but worth it.
A quick drive from Noosa to a ferry over to Noosa north shore (via a Richard Branson owned island). After a brief tarmac drive it was out onto forty mile beach - and it seemed like 40 miles. Exhilarating travelling along a beach at 80km/hr. As we headed to Double Island Pt we cut inland and then back onto the beach at Wide Bay - as named by Capt Cook. Early morning coffee (8am) at cliffs with coloured sand and then onto Inskip Point to catch a ferry - quite busy and alot of trucks getting stuck in the sand and going sideways through the tracks! Just have to aim for the boat ramp and hope!
Going across to Fraser there were sightings of Dolphins.
Onto Fraser and then 40km more to Eurong resort - we passed a 3 dingoes (1 eating a manta ray), eagles and saw hump back whales swimming along the coast - occasional water fountains. Inland at Eurong we aimed for Lake Mackenzie - a high perched freshwater lake. The swim was fantastic and followed by a great lunch of steak, salads, fruit and beer.
A brief rain forest walk and it was time to leave to beat the tide - the island roads are all sand and are not as good for driving on as the beach!
On the drive back from Rainbow Beach - lots of dairy farming and traditional QLD style housing and a few kangaroos.
