Rainbow Beach is a peaceful seaside community on the Queensland coast, about 240 kilometres north of Brisbane, and 76 kilometres east of Gympie. The place is jaw droppingly beautiful, and a photographer's dream. More than 20 kilometres of pristine beach sweeps a gentle arc around the Pacific Coast, from the Coffee Rocks, up to Inskip Point. From Inskip you can catch a barge to Fraser Island. The landscape is bush clad right to the sand, and at the southern end, near the township stand the beaches namesakes- giant sandstone cliffs etched by time and streaked with more than seventy different colours of sand.Aboriginal legend tells how the coloured sands were created when Yiningie, a defeated rainbow spirit collapsed there after battle; science explains it as rare mineral deposits, leached iron oxides and dyes from the native plant life.
