Also, any tips on where to go and what to see? I just got hold of a Hema Map of the island so I'll start looking at that.

Mate - best tip is don't collide with the land cruisers and patrols stuck up to the sills in Indian head. Cheers

Hey Mud,

You'll be sweet.
There's a few threads on here (obviously), and one from the trip we did last year.

Plan the tides, and go Teewah / DI up the beach. Miles quicker, heaps shorter, lovely drive and miles less traffic.

If you take the cutting after Rainbow and get on the beach, rather than going all the way to the barge on the bitumen, you'll not only miss all the knuckleheads making a meal of things, when they hit the sand, you'll come round the corner and get straight on the barge.

I took the leisha track just the other day... easy run, better surface than i've ever seen the freshwater road. rainbow beach is still quite narrow, but is navigable.
