Travel Queensland : Rainbow beach

Rainbow Beach was once only a place where sand mining operated until 1976 and gets its name from Coloured Sands. Other close points of interest are the Carlo Sand Blow, Double Island Point and Inskip Point, the launching point for Fraser Island barges. There seems to be no buildings over 3 storeys high and most seem to be very new.

This is not the place for cosmopolitan-style pleasures - more for the eco-conscious folk.
