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.

This shows it well, they update this every few weeks, definitely worth checking when you are going up:

The Fraser ferry leaves from inskip, there is a facebook page 'I got bogged at inskip point' shows conditions.

Just quietly those QLD Govco maps are dead set on point - the one for Moreton Island was so much better than the others including Hema.

A few days in Bright
Took the van up to Bright for a bit of a look around over the weekend. Nice place this time of year. Harrietville and Mt Beauty would be my two favorite spots in the area.
Gotta say next time I go anywhere it will be at night. The traffic through Melb these days is really really bad.
