A decades-old Rainbow Beach caravan park is gearing up for a major facelift with plans unveiled for an expansion that will include mini golf, pools and more campsites.

The Rainbow Beach Holiday Park is getting a major facelift with Gympie Regional Council giving its plans for expansion the green light.

Rainbow Beach is nothing like Byron Bay where the Hemsworths live and where I grew up, locals here prefer XXXX over $12 craft beers, and cow's milk coffees over turmeric lattes.
