Rainbow Shores Drive, Rainbow Beach Rainbow Beach, Cooloola National Park, Queensland, Australia
After leaving Brisbane we stopped in at the Australia Zoo (owned by Steve Irwin, the crocodile enthusiast), the zoo was very well kept but expensive and pretty small, so we didn't stay too long. We stayed in Noosa for a night and opted for an apartment which was pretty cheap for what we got, a three bedroom apartment looking over the beach with all our own facilites,and this was 28 dollars each for the night. If we'd have had 6 people it would be a great place to visit for a cheap holiday, al...
Rainbow Beach, Australia alanjaquesNearly everybody I've met who's travelled in Australia has said that Frazier Island and Frasure Island were highlights of their trips. Just to be different, myself and Ben decided to head to Fraser Island. We figured it being the largest sand island in the world, with the 'purest' dingo population in Australia, a shed-load of perched lakes (lakes above the water table) and with rainforests full of snakes it was bound to be a special place. It didn't disappoint. Most tours to Fraser Island are...
Fraser Island, Australia fosullWe're kept awake most of the night by torrential rain battering hell out of our tent and this continues right into the morning. It shows no signs of letting up and as we have no ropes on the tent, it's not going to hold it's integrity for long and it's no surprise when it starts leaking. We lie there trying to get a bit more sleep but it's not going to happen. So, we sit up, chatting and waiting for it to stop. Then Mark hears our voice and pops his head into the tent for a chat. He tells us ...
Rainbow Beach, Australia richard_x_brown5th July 2005. We caught the 6.30 am bus to ranbow beach, just. The owner of the hostel told us to call him to get a lift there. We called. He didn't get up so we ran 1km in about 5 minutes loaded with pacs. Once on the bus there were 4 pople on it, 2 canadians and 2 germans. We arrived at Rainbow beach and checked in ready for our 4pm meeting about our trip to Fraser Island. At the meeting we got grouped together and shown a few videos about what to expect. Dingo's and their man eating abili...

... gave us a big handful of chocolate bars! Looked for roos and koalas the rest of the drive but didnt see any. Got to rainbow beach at 330 and caught the end of the fraser island briefing. Met our crew and ordered our booze for the trip. The girls surprised me with spaghetti dinner! Played with photos before bed.
... yakking with them til late that night.
Next morning we planned to leave early for Coolum so Greg’s punting info gathering session which would normally begin at 6am every Saturday morn on the computer would be condensed into an hour once at Coolum Beach, before he adjourned for the day to the Coolum SLSC opposite with TAB facilities. It’s a place he knows very well, having frequented it often during holidays of past.
... by the name of Joanne befriending me in the hope that I might join her video-phone pyramid scheme. After an educational DVD and long winded chat about the millions of dollars I too could be earning by next time this year, I couldn’t help but wonder why, if this was indeed as profitable an endeavor as she had been gushing about, she had chosen to travel on the Greyhound, Australia’s cheapest mode of transport.
Most of the people staying here are either on ...
... in Rainbow Beach inkludiert. Also tauschten wir fuer zwei Naechte die Liege in unserem Camper mit einem Hostelzimmer. Auf Fraser Island fuhren wir in einer "self guided tour" mit neun weiteren abermals hauptsaechlich irischen Kollegen in einem alten Toyota Landcruiser. Insgesamt waren in unserer Tour 3 Autos, also rund 30 junge partyhungrige Touristen. Fraser Island ist die zwar die weltgroesste Sandinsel (120 m lang), dennoch sieht sie nicht gerade wie ...
Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Australia gutti... groups over and had 30 people sitting around drinking goon and swapping stories about our travels. ( where to stay, where not to stay, all the backpacker tricks and survival tricks when on a budget ) The island is full of wild dingoes so we had to be careful at night time. There was also loads of venomous spiders and snakes around so convoy number 2 was when all the girls needed to go to the toilet. It was exceelnt the first night but not so much the first ...
Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Australia oz2009... br>Fraser Island is the worlds largest sand island and it also is home to the largest population of pure dingos. The island is basically surrounded by a couple hundred kilometers of fantastic beach. The sand is so fine that is some areas it actually squeaks when you walk over it. That also means that it gets everywhere, I still have sand in my hair and in my ears but I also got buried and made into a mermaid so that's a bit of my own fault.
Once again ...
