Rainbow Beach has two caravan parks and is surrounded by Queensland National Park’s three most popular camping grounds. They are favourites of generations for good reasons
We love Poona Lake. Like K’gari Fraser Island lakes, you’ll see rainforest tower above ancient sand dunes – it’s a rare heritage marvel! It is a short, shaded walk into a gorgeous hidden wonder, beloved by locals and visitors. Poona Lake is the largest of its kind in Cooloola, 12 hectares of water! Perched lakes are the most common here and form from a ‘saucer’ of organic matter makes a depression in the dunes. Then, water collects and a lake is born. As you enter the water, it is crystal clear. Then at a couple of metres – pitch black!
Ocean Breeze Seafoods Mural, Rainbow Beach Queensland Three new murals have appeared in the last few weeks in the popular seaside destination of Rainbow Beach. Situated east of Gympie or north from Noosa, via The Great Beach Drive. Next time you are in Rainbow Beach, check out the NEW murals by talented artist, James Ellis. Go on a trail – the first you will see is Ocean Breeze Seafoods on Rainbow Beach Road as you drive into town. Stop in and say hi to Sandy, she loves that kids say she has the best chips in town! Yummy seafood, too
Lucky Bay in WA’s Cape Le Grand National Park has just been voted Best Beach. Not just for Australia – but the whole world!
Rainbow Beach, Queensland – no 3 on the 2023 BEST Aussie Beach top ten It is just a few short weeks now left of the hottest season so we thought we’d cool you down with some coastal breezes! Why is February the best month to camp? School’s in. It tends to be the quietest month for tourists – less crowds! And, you can make the most of the last month of summer – be it waterfalls, swimming holes, rivers, creeks, dams and beaches! (Look for the symbol in our App and guides.)

Hamelin Bay, Westerm Australia – image Overland Exposure Here’s some more beaches to add to your list! Let us know if you have visited them, and if you agree? For the first time, South Australia has claimed the coveted ‘Best Australian Beach’ title, with Stokes Bay on Kangaroo Island judged the overall winner for 2023. Located on Kangaroo Island’s north coast, Stokes Bay is family friendly and features a tidal swimming pool perfect for wading and snorkelling. The list of ‘Best Australian Beaches 2023’ has been curated by beach expert Brad Farmer AM for Tourism Australia. It is no surprise,
Our daughter enjoyed her visit to K’gari and Lake Wabby this summer Image by Max Clarke K’gari is world heritage listed wonderland, and part of the Great Sandy National Park. The Lake Wabby walk starts a few minutes drive north from the village of Eurong, off the beach. We were astounded one of the kids spotted an echidna at the start of the track – and it stayed put while we all had a chance to look. We ditched our thongs for bare feet – it was sand all the way, and lots of steps! Lake Wabby is very different
What a beautiful location! Right on the beach, with beach access to these calm sandy beaches. Currently there are big renovations due to happen for this council run park – and you need to be self contained RV only. Toilets are available at the foreshore just south of the tourist park. No dogs, but there is unlimited swimming, fishing and the boat ramp next door. There are picnic tables, too and a dump point. Budget priced – it is a wonderful location for anyone who loves the sea – sailing, waterskiing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and canoeing. In fact, the Outrigger Club
Public dump points at the Freshwater day-use area A new portable waste facility has been installed and portable toilets will be mandatory at Teewah Beach from 12 October 2021 with human waste being inappropriately disposed in the area’s natural environment.

The camping zones cover 14km of beach including the dune area and sand cliffs between the Noosa Shire Council boundary and Little Freshwater Creek.
