Between 30 and 40 vehicles were turned back on the ferry because they did not have appropriate permits and police issued one driver without a vehicle permit a QPWS penalty infringement notice.
Police conducted 280 random breath tests with no drivers registering above the legal limit.
Six hikers who became lost on the Great Cooloola Walk were also helped by police.
