We arrived in Rainbow Beach from Tin Can Bay, quaint little town, but right on the backpackers trail and so the townies don't like these "your not from around here, are you, types" infiltrating their little patch of tucked away paradise. We tried to do a spot of free camping by the ocean side park, but it looks like ranger phil, is on the beat, and has harassed several van packers, slapped them with a goldcoast type fine for breaking hick town bylaws, anonymously passed in an out of session midnight council meeting when topped up with the sauce they passed these draconian bylaws, where you are not allowed to sleep in your car, any where in town, unless it is in backpacker alley. you guessed it, backpacker street is full of hostile hostels, where all the young dudes party like there is no tomorrow and for some of them, by the way they party, there probably won't be. Sooooo let me set the scene, bilbo and basho did the right thing and parked our freedom machine in backpacker street, with all the other ten thousand party vans, all knockin and a rockin, till sunrise, ah, did not sleep a wink,
amazing streak art rainbow beachwith all these party types yahooing, yaheeing, all night long, some of them did a lionel ritchie, and were probably dancing on the ceiling, you get the feeling, that we were reeling,
meanwhile back in the town that is reminiscent of a 60's style byron bay where every shop sells surf boards or surfwear, or alcohol or sometimes all of these at the same time, don't mind packing the back packing dollars just don't want them freeloading in suburbia. like check out the only laundromat, oh yeah, its owned by the fish and chip shop next door, that will also sell you a shower for five dolleros. so clean your clothes, clean yourself, before you bring your stinky arse into my house of greasy stuff thats probably been festering all day, o'k we havn't slept a wink, we probably stink and its raining, maybe the towns not that bad, did i mention its raining,
