Rainbow Beach to Tewantin via Double Island Point - Day 3 and 4 of 4 (Drew)

Day3

I was up fairly early and took my time to walk to the last campsite. The trees down were few to the sand blow and the sand was firmer due to recent rain. On the sand blow I saw a feral cat and a very low flying helicopter. The walk from the sand blow to the campsite I once again found tough, and the number of trees down was crazy. This was the worst section of the track. I arrived at camp just before 15:00 to find Tracy waiting with a big smile, and once again a completely empty campsite. That night I slept very poorly, as the wind was very strong.





















Day 4

Up early once again and we packed and took our time walking out to the ferry. It was nice to have someone to walk with for a change. We had planned to walk the beach from Teewah Village however it was high tide, so we had to stay on the path. We saw and talked briefly to 3 groups going north on the trail, totally about 20 people as one group were schoolgirls! Tracy had told me the last 2 km of the walk was underwater, so we walked on the beach to the first cutting and stopped for lunch and a well-deserved swim. We walked the roads to the ferry and then to our car. We plan to complete this again over 5 days together in July, cross fingers!!
