This rugged national park features open eucalypt forest, rainforest, and cascades, along the picturesque Stony Creek.

Branch Creek Road offers an easy to moderate and super picturesque 4WD track as it winds up through the middle of the park.

More great easy 4wd tracks Brisbane (close to), can be found on North Stradbroke Island. North Stradbroke Island, or Minjerribah is a sub-tropical island located 30 km southeast of Brisbane and it is the world’s second largest sand island: about 38 km long and 11 km wide.

There are a range of sand tracks that weave their way through the Old Pine Forest and bushland near Brown Lake, Main Beach, and Flinders Beach. These 4wd tracks are mostly easy in level but can become difficult to impassable depending on the weather.

Double Island Point is hidden away in the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park and the Great Sandy Biosphere, Double Island Point is not an island, but a long sand spit with a pair of large sand dunes which, from a distance, appear to be separated by the sea.

Double Island Point can be reached two to three hours either side of low tide from either Rainbow Beach or Noosa along the Great Beach Drive. You will need a 4wd, and the Great Beach Drive makes for excellent and easy 4wding.  You’ll also need to buy a beach driving permit online from Queensland Parks before you leave and check the tide times carefully because the beach isn’t accessible at high tide. There are no facilities at Double Island Point so you’ll pack your own food and drinks.
