What our travellers think of their stay

Rainbow Beach is beach on the Sunshine Coast in east Australia. It is special because you can drive there.

My suggestion

Sand, salt... My advice is to give your car a good clean before you leave Rainbow Beach.

Rainbow Beach is a tiny community which takes its name from the colour of the sand. Rainbow Beach is a quiet, well-preserved place that will delight adventurers with vehicles.

My suggestion

Take the ferry to Fraser Island from Inskip Point. Rent a 4WD or book a tour through the dunes to Double Island Point lighthouse. Dive at Wolf Rock. Go to the Carlo Sandblow for a superb viewpoint!

Cape Tribulation and its surroundings

This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
