Biggest problem will be when you follow other peoples deep wheel ruts. You will belly it on the hump between them.
Dont overload it and air down. You dont have 35 series tyres or anything silly like that i hope.
Quite capable, the wading depth is 500mm, my Disco 2 is only 400mm. Look at the first car in this video

I used to go there with a VW type 3 wagon once upon a time.
But IMHO the biggest problem will be wheel tracks on the inland tracks and at Inskip Point, Hooke Point,and Middle Rocks. With the number of dumb arse drivers who do not air down the tracks will be terrible if it is dry and during school holidays. If you go just after heavy rain and away from school holidays it will be easy.
It's easy to drive along the beach at lowish tides, just like a highway.
Have a look at "I got bogged at Inskip" if you want to see what I mean.
I personally would not take a Freelander there but if that is what you have , then go to it.
A sand driving course with The Range Rover Club of NSW ( or another training provider) would be good preparation.

Yes my suggestion is a highway tyre. Steer clear of wide tyres and steer clear of aggressive tread. You want a skinny tall tyre aired down so it sits on top of the sand and doesn't dig in or act as a plough. Travel as light as you can and momentum will be your friend. In the harder sections drive it like you stole it. Dont use your brakes and make sure you stop nose down a hill.
