Rainbow Beach and Inskip Point in particular are just stunning places. You know you are onto something good when there are 5-6 National Park campsites in such a small area and the one I stayed at (M.V. Sarawak) had an incredible 500 spaces. It was pretty empty when we visited and we were grateful for that. 500 sets of campers is a lot of pressure on a few bush toilets!
My first find was a Mangrove Honeyeater and I was thrilled. I have only seen this bird once before, in thick mangrove. I was surprised to see it in open woodland but there was no mistaking the warbling call and facial markings.
