Drive Carefully
Drive slowly & carefully on the beach.
Take the road when the tide is high or wait so you don't compact turtle nests.
Stay off the dunes, turtles and birds nest there & grass stops the sand eroding.
Dogs on a leash protect nests of birds who have flown from the other side of the world to nest safely here.

At least 40 nesting turtle tracks recorded on Rainbow Beach !

Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners
In keeping with the spirit of reconciliation, Cooloola Coastcare acknowledges the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) and Butchulla people who are the traditional custodians of the land and sea where Cooloola Coastcare operates, and recognise that these have always been places of environmental stewardship. We wish to pay respect to their Elders - past, present and emerging - and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal people continue to play within the Cooloola community.
Partners, Collaborators & Sponsors
Cooloola Coastcare is grateful to our many grant providers, sponsors, partners, colleagues, supporters and friends who help us in so many ways through financial support, equipment, discounts, donations, volunteering and assistance in so many ways.
