Cooloola Coloured Sands
Drive up the beach from Noosa instead of taking the Bruce Highway.
Plan your trip well ahead .
You need a 4WD for this and a permit from parks and wildlife to visit Fraser Island.
Plan to catch the low tides and take time to explore as you travel and check barge times before you leave. You may need to stay overnight.
Double Island Point Lighthouse
From Noosa cross the Noosa River by barge from Tewantin, then travel North up the Cooloola coloured sands beach at low tide, crossing over Double Island Point headland, then up the beach to Rainbow Beach township past more coloured sands. Drive further North up the beach to Inskip Point then catch the barge over to Fraser Island then travel at low tide up the ocean beach on the Eastern side to Eurong. Cross over the island to the Western side and catch the barge across to Urangan Point, Hervey Bay and drive 350m from the barge landing up Miller Street to "All Sea Dogs Ahoy".
