Itinerary

• You will be picked up between 7:30-8:30am for a beautiful country drive to our first stop for a visit to the very popular Cooloola Berries between May and September OR another popular coffee stop between October and April, for the opportunity to purchase their fresh farm produce or grab yourself a tea or coffee
• The next leg of out journey will get us to a clear sand filtered fresh water creek in the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park where you can freshen up and possibly see some of the creek's local residents such as the large long-finned eel  
• A short drive will take us through the Rainbow Beach township to the ever-growing Carlo Sandblow on its outskirts, part of the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park. Here you will be taken on a guided nature walk onto Carlo Sandblow to explore this amazing natural landscape that offers incredible views of the distant coloured sands, Double Island Point and K'Gari (Fraser Island).
  
• All this exploring will have built up an appetite, so it's a good time to have some lunch, and there is no better place to eat than at the local beachside restaurant where you will eat your included lunch overlooking the beautiful Rainbow Beach and Wide Bay with views of the distant coloured sands and Double Island Point.
• Once you've eaten lunch you will have enough free time to explore Rainbow Beach shopping strip, its beautiful patrolled beach, where you can cool off between the flags if you wish
• A trip to Rainbow Beach wouldn't be complete without a closer look at K'Gari (Fraser Island). You will be taken to the nearest mainland point to the island, where you can look across the channel to K'Gari and do a little nature walk too
• With a reasonable journey home, we break it up with a visit to a craft brewery and farm on the way where you can reminisce over a refreshing drink and maybe some live music on weekends
• We will finish the day with another lovely country drive to drop you at your accommodation between 5-6pm, in time for dinner.
