With 2 days to spare.. we headed off on our 1st camping trip since living in Brissy.
All packed & ready to go with headed up north to Rainbow Beach. When we arrived at the ferry we realised that we werent actually allowed to take Gypsy [our dog]... Anyways Tash [My sister] & Adam convinced me not to be a stick in the mud & live on the adventurous side og life for a while.
Location decided! Time to set up tent.. Gypsy had her bed set up & water to drink under a nice shady tree. I took 2 of my neices & headed off to play in the beach..
meanwhile moments later the Park ranger paid Adam & Tash a visit & I was called back to the camp site :( The ranger advised me I would have to pay an infringment notice & then offered us to relocte to another area to avoid a fine.. We chose to RELOCATE!!
I [slight annoyed / border lining wanting to scream at both Adam & Tash!! for making me look like a criminal] then reminded myself not to go anywhere unless I personally do the research.
We packed up & headed up the beach for some serious 4Wheel driving.. the sand was extremley soft & we had a couple of close calls with other 4WD on the sandy track. We finally arrived at our destination Inkip point.. 5 hours from home [a little further than anticipated] however definatley worth the milage.
WOW!! What a beautiful place!!!
A lovely camping ground which could be access by road & by beach.. dog friendly, drop toilets & best of all.. camping fires allowed!!
After we were happy with our campsite we headed to the beach [20 metre walk] went for a swam & enjoyed the views of Fraser Island. Back to camp for some Australian Damper on a stick [bush bread], baked beans & snags [Sausages] on the fire. By 08:30 we had run out of fire wood & it was an early night to a very long day.
Monday morning 06:00.. It was hot steamy & sticky. Out of bed & by 08:00 our camp site was packed up & we headed into town [10 mins from Rainbow beach] icecream for Breakfast :) Grabbed a map for the tourist centre & headed on a 320KLM 4Wheel drive adventure through national parks.. on our return home we came across another camping location Harry hut [very very remote] however it was based on the edge of Beautiful Billabong.. We stopped for lunch & enjoyed the scenery.
