FROM the Noosa River, the track headed back up the forested dunes until reaching the spectacular Cooloola Sandpatch. From the top of the sandpatch I could see to where the Noosa River was blocked in a couple of places to form lakes spreading out over the everglade.
From here a couple of markers and a dead tree provided navigation down the kilometre-long sand patch, passing the swirling patterns of different coloured sands deposited from different eras over the past hundred thousand years.
Upon reaching the end of the sandpatch, the track entered the forest and steeply rose to the top of a ridge, following it. The forest gradually thinned to low heathland scrub providing views to the left down the main beach to the distant Noosa Headlands and to the right of the lakes of the Noosa River. The ridge widened and began descending as I reached the Brahminy campsite.
