[Dave]

Sorry - due to a back injury, I'll need to postpone this trip to possibly later in Jan.

Hi all,

I'm considering a camping trip to Inskip Point. It is right next to Rainbow Beach resort, or almost 3 hours drive from Brisbane. It is adjacent to the ocean, so will not get too hot or cold at night.

There are 5 large campgrounds there, ranging from near the beach on sand, to a somewhat grassy surface with toilets nearby. Dogs are permitted, and we can bring our own firewood for a campfire. And Rainbow beach township is only 5 mins down the road.

Depending on people's preferences, the following is on offer :
A drive along the beach to :
- View and touch the coloured sands on Rainbow beach
- A walk up to the lighthouse at Double Island point - spectacular views (and watch the turtles, dolphins, and Manta Rays swim by).
- A walk up Red Canyon (coloured sands)
- A splash in the shallow but warmer waters north of Double Island point.
-

And for keeping off the beach :
- Early morning dolphin feeding at Tin Can Bay
- A drive along Freshwater or Poverty Point roads (rain forest with a firm sandy base .... relatively easy drive).
- A walk to the Carlo Sandblow (short walk to the sandblow, but you'll then want to walk towards the ocean - spectacular view)
- I can bring some kayaks if people are interested to have a paddle in calm waters (right next to the campground)
- A 30m walk to the beach for watch the sun set/rise (yes - both are available ... it's Inskip Point), fishing, or building a 4 metre sand castle, or just walk to the northern point to look at the Mantra Ray vehicle ferry and Fraser Island.

Depending on the interest, we are even considering staying an extra night, i.e. returning on Monday the 12th of Dec.

Where: Inskip Point
Cost: National Parks standard camp fees, plus $11 4WD fee per day for beach access. We would only use 1 or 2 days max.
When: 10th and 11th of Dec
Meeting Place: BP on the Northbound Bruce Highway at Morayfield at 8:40am for a 9:00am departure (last one there has to write up the trip report)

Trip Leader: Dave

Let me know if you are interested as soon as possible, and I'll happily customise the activities to meet people's preferences.

I'm interested in this one Dave. I'd probably prefer to go for the beach option but would be happy with either.

Cheers,

Cos.
