Inskip Point

The Fraser Island Barge about to land at Inskip Point.

After watching the dolphins have breakfast and us having breakfast too we headed off to explore Rainbow Beach and Inskip Point.

Inskip

There are a number of National Park Camp sites along beach side of the point. Naturally I drove in to a couple to check them out. We were surprised to see that every second camp had one or more dogs - isn't this a National Park. Turns out that all the camp sites here are dog friendly 🙁 . I am still of the view that National Parks should be domestic animal free but in any case surely some of the camp sites could be dog free for those of us that choose not of have or leave our dogs at home.

To me dog friendly makes a mockery of all the signs along the beach access points pointing out not to disturb the shore birds or nesting turtles.

 

The barge unloading at Inskip.

As well as access to the barge Inskip is a popular recreation area.

 

Looking across the water to the vehicles unloading on Fraser Island.

 

We didn't see any one getting bogged at Inskip while we were there not even the local copper.

 

Rainbow Beach

No photos of Rainbow Beach just a comment. Tin Can Bay is still maintaining a quite fishing village feel - Rainbow Beach already feels like the new Noosa.
