The track log starts and ends at Point Lookout.
The 4WD track starts just west of the Amity Point turnoff (details of this turn-off are well described in \'Dirty Weekends\') and ends on the main East-West Road between Dunwich and the east coast beach. The drive is a relatively easy run. The occassional deeper sand \'patch\' blown across the track makes for a little fun and brings momentum to the fore... but easily traversed with a little momentum in high range.
The first stop is Tripod Lookout. From here you can see much of North Stradbroke Island, as well as (on a clear day) see the Brisbane CBD to the west.
Progressing south along the track you\'ll see a variety of vegetation typical of a sand island.
Returning to Dunwich via Brown Lake. A short 4WD track to the eastern side of the lake will provide a relatively quiet (no 2WD accesss) opportunity to swim in the freshwater lake without crowds.
