Other times the sand is good enough to go through whenever.

The main reason people try to get through is this is the way back from the point where the surfing and swimming is best (that's where my pic is up the top of this page), back to rainbow beach town. You can go around to freshwater track, but it takes a lot longer. I don't tend to go to rainbow beach, but if you are camping and need supplies its one option.

Here's what was happening last year when I went up for a look:

I can't seem to work out where are the rocks? In between Leisha and Freshwater?

Looking at planning a Fraser trip.
