We are so sorry that we haven’t posted in a while, and we will be back.
We had a wedding to go to, A few business appointments as well as other appointments. Everything has been on hold for now. Things have been busy, busy, busy for us and we do promise to post some more of what we have been up real soon.
Our adventure will be kicking off again and heading into another 2 states – can you guess which ones?
Stick with us and watch this space, we will have some great adventures coming your way. We are starting something new for us.
Holiday time, our first little break this year, so after exploring our options we settled on Rainbow Beach for a 3-day stay.
The weather forecast was for fine sunny conditions about 7 days before we left, but as the time to leave got closer, the outlook was changing to something that wasn’t so promising. We decided to push ahead anyway. We stayed at the Rainbow Beach Holiday Village which is right in the center of the Rainbow Beach village.
As it turned out Saturday the day we arrived had the best weather, with Sunday not so good, then came Monday which had torrential rain just about all day long. I bit of a disappointment, but what can you do, it is what it is.
We did get to spend a few hours on the beach on Sunday, with no rain, but plenty of wind. It was a good walk with plenty to see, especially the 4wd’s driving along the beach. Rainbow Beach, fishing with the colored sands in the background
A tricky point on Rainbow Beach, you have to time the waves to get past the rocks. A car navigating the rocks on Rainbow Beach
Plenty of cars on the beach, it is almost a highway. Rainbow Beach, popular with the drivers.
The other thing we had a look at is the Carlo Sandblow, which basically is a massive mountain of sand which is slowly moving inland. Rainbow Beach, Carlo Sandblow
There is plenty to do around Rainbow Beach if you are into fishing, 4wd, hiking. It definitely is a place we are going to go to again, and with any luck, the weather will be better. We might even have a go at driving on the beach, just not too sure if our Nissan Xtrail is up to it.
Just a little bit further north is the Inskip Peninsula Recreation Area, which has a few camping spots, we might give this a try next time.
It’s Australia day (Jan 26), the time when most Australians take some time off from work, and head to the beach, fire up the BBQ, or just sit back and relax with the family having a few quite ones. My wife and I decided to join our friends on Moreton Island.
Queensland has a number of islands off the coast which are easy to get to, some of them have bridges so you can drive to them, others like Moreton Island have no bridges, and no roads, so it is a 4WD only island only accessible by ferry. Heading out to Moreton Island
The ferry doesn’t berth at a pier on Moreton Island, instead, it just stops at the beach, in the sand. As I said 4WD only. Moreton Island beach
The beach above is actually classified as a road. Police patrol up and down it on the quad bikes. Someone actually said the were breathalyzed. Moreton Island shipwrecks.
These pictures were taken towards the end of the day, there was a lot more people about earlier. Plenty of fish and thing to see, but watch out for the current, it will take you down the beach quickly. Moreton Island – heading back to Brisbane
It was a great day, and certainly a place I would come back to.
