It is becoming increasingly difficult to find affordable solutions for family vacations, what with airline fares threatening to rise, and the ever increasing price of a gallon of gasoline. By researching travel options on the internet, one can find cheap travel solutions, letting you get away from it all without the worry of cost. If you are planning to leave on your vacation within 14 days you can usually find great savings on Last Minute Deals where your flight and hotel booking are combined as a package deal.hotal

Online booking enables travel operators to cut out the middleman, making it possible to price travel much more cheaply. Making travel arrangements this way means that no-one has to pay for the high street offices or massive agency advertising which drive up the cost of travel. Online services can offer cheap travel to customers who are prepared to do some of the work themselves, for example by using search engines to find the cheap travel solutions which suit their requirements. If you decide the destination and the routes you want to use to get there, you can use online services to find cheap travel options which are also a cheap solution for the provider. You’ll probably also find that you enjoy having more control over managing your travel, with nobody giving you the hard sell or trying to persuade you that you might really prefer to travel somewhere else (probably at a higher cost).

Rainbow Beach has everything to offer the adventurous sun seeker, with camping spots in every direction, the world‘s largest sand island a short ferry ride away and spectacular coloured sands along the coastline. A hire car is the ideal choice to visit this region as you can pick and choose your favourite location to base yourself and spend the rest of your holiday enjoying the idyllic surroundings.Located close to three hours drive from Brisbane, it is easily reached via the Bruce Highway just past Gympie. It is often known as the gateway to Fraser Island and is surrounded by the incredible Great Sandy National Park. On the final stretch into town there are tall trees on either side of the road, and thick forest as far as the eye can see. These eventually lead to white endless beaches popular for camping.rainbow-beach

There are two camping grounds that stand out from the rest, Rainbow Waters Caravan Park, accessible just as you enter the town, and Rainbow Village Caravan Park, located in the heart of town. We have enjoyed numerous family holidays at these locations and each have a different atmosphere and cater to most travellers.

At Rainbow Waters, we noticed there was plenty of space for everyone, with trees and grasslands surrounding the entire park you feel instantly relaxed. Camp fires are permitted, great for that Billy tea and damper. There are pelicans on the river bank waiting to greet you, with the nearby jetty the best place to watch the fishing boats.

With excellent amenities, a kiosk and restaurant nearby, it is an ideal place to set up especially if you have a boat and are keen to fish or get out into the calm waters. Bring the insect repellent as the midges come out at dusk.
