Another hour down the coast is the tiny township of Rainbow beach named for the many hues of coloured sand (previously called Back beach so you can see why they changed it). I have an afternoon here and as there's basically the beach I take to the surf. It's been a while and I didn't exactly get good to start with but it's good exercise and after a couple of hours I've no more energy left. 
Except that I want to walk to a sandblow nearby so summon some energy for this. Through a wood as the light takes on it's pre-sunset magical quality and then abruptly emerging onto a huge stretch of sand, blown up through a gap in the cliffs it's been growing bigger and bigger. From here, it's possible to see that rare event on the East coast, a sunset!
I've bumped into an English backpacker who I've met before (this is a common theme actually to keep meeting the same people who are travelling in the same direction) so we have a few drinks that evening.
