This weekend will consist of meeting at the Northbound Twin Shell’s Service Station at Glasshouse. (Outback near the big tree) Meeting 7:30am leave 8:00am.
The plan is to then head up the highway and head for the Cooloola Way Track that head towards Rainbow Beach/Inskip Point, with a possible stop over at Harry’s Hut for morning tea. After our little break head back to the Cooloola Way Track and head north to Rainbow Beach, which will allow for any last minute essentials.
Once all ready we will travel up to Inskip Point to find a camp spot so we all can setup camp and relax for the afternoon doing what you like or doing nothing. Sunday morning, pack up and head to Double Island Point calm side for a relaxing swim, paddle board or so. After lunch there will be a casual drive down the beach via Tewantin, then onto the highway heading home.
Things to do before the trip is to book your camping for Saturday night and vehicle permit for Sunday.
Both can be obtained via the website of National Parks & Wildlife.
