Double Island Point is a coastal headland in Queensland, Australia. It is the next headland north of Noosa and is within the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, at the southern end of Wide Bay. The point was named by Captain Cook when he passed it on 18 May 1770, "on account of its figure" (i.e. shape). In the original of his journal he had written ''Fiddle Head'', but crossed that out.〔Ray Parkin, ''H. M. Bark Endeavour'', Miegunyah Press, second edition 2003, ISBN 0-522-85093-6, page 227.〕 ==Geography== Despite the name, there is no (double) islands, but rather a sandspit. It is the southern point of Wide Bay. There is no road access to the point, but four-wheel drive vehicles can go along the beach, either from the township of Rainbow Beach in Wide Bay, or the longer way up from Noosa Heads (after taking a ferry across the Noosa River).〔(Cooloola Northern page ) at the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service〕 The northern side of the point is a surfing location. On a good swell, a right-hander breaks over sand, and for perhaps as much as 300 metres in ideal conditions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double Island Point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
