Yeah, we were up there the same weekend, the "boardwalk" at the rainbow end of the leisha track was destroyed by the storms a week or so before.

Now, it is repaired and totally usable, I was suprised that we could get through, but it was as though nothing had changed - good as new.

The rocks at rainbow were pretty much non existant. There are a number of fairly large rocks partialy exposed from middle rock to Rainbow, but easy to see and get around.

As you know, the beach changes all the time so care is always required. This weekend it was like the good old days, nice flat, hard sand all the way to the track, across to rainbow, up to the point, into rainbow for some lunch, and back to the beach via the Freshwater track. Hope it stays like this!
