OK awsome im definatly locking it in then. Are there any maps for that section? or is it basically drive till you hit the beach then camp up.

My driveway is finally dry so it shouldn't be too bad considering it is all sand.
There is 2 ways of getting there depending on which direction you are coming from, all is sign posted.
From Bundy - Goodwood Rd - Head towards Childers until you come to a sharp corner, turn left (sign posted) head east looking out for a sign on the
right. Follow to dirt road and the signs will guide you to Palm Beach
From Woodgate - coming from Childers you will have to watch out for a sign on the left about 2 klms from the Town area.
Here is a link for a map

No pics that would be of any interest really.I have attached a couple...hopefully. I didnt find the track into kinkuna challenging at all, soft sand in the dunes beside the beach where you camp and some mud on the way in but just let some pressure out of the tyres and stick to the edge of the mud pits, maybe check them first.
Low tide is good beach driving, high tide wont give you much room and you will be up in the soft stuff. Woodgate section is the pic for extended stay, kinkuna is fun for a few nights.
Give the local national parks guy a call I found him very helpful telling me all about each spot (kinkuna and the woodgate section).



One of the mud pits at the time (probably the worst it got so nothing really)




This is the view from the camp site at kinkuna. The beach rises up to a small dune and just over the crest of the dune (which is lined with shee-oaks) it opened up into a beautiful site where we had 3 camps set up under the trees. The small dune protects you from the onshore winds.
