this photo is looking left towards rainbow beach from the base of the leisha track AT DEAD LOW TIDE!

to get to rainbow you have to drive through 2 foot of water even at low tide.
the eastern beach is also very damaged. coffee rock is exposed in 3 places north of the 3rd cutting and the beach is noticeable narrower. with the long weekend traffic it was quite dangerous in places and anyone who was a bit impatient heading south ended up out in the salt.
The errosion has also shown up the base of the cherry venture wreck, and I reckon quite a few people will have staked a tyre on the metal sticking out.
the coppers were out in force booking wankers doing doughnuts amongst the traffic. it was actually good to see them for a change as the beach was far too busy for hooning.
