Noosa

Right, Noosa! Well, it's a lovely place. The whole area is beautiful, the sea is gorgeous, the people friendly and the town affluent and surrounded by National Park.

We knew the area was going to be nice but didn't know the town would be too, so we were pleasantly surprised by the scenery and the shops. The whole town is quite boutique-y and well maintained.

We drove up to the end of the road, i.e. there was nowhere else left to go except down a great big cliff and spent the night there in a carpark, watching the sun set. It was so peaceful and very beautiful. It was pretty uneventful all night, but the sunrise was spectacular (I'm taking Phil's word for it) and then we went off for a nice cold swim first thing. Ahh, this is the life!

Watched some kids learning to surf, older men coming out to fish and just people rocking up with kayaks and other stuff to just go and hang out. It's so natural and such a great life style. Would be great to be able to do the same stuff at home so easily.

We also went for a walk through the National Park and tried to spot some dolphins, but unfortunately, we weren't lucky. Just saw some splashes and a teasing fin, but that's it. Never mind, still beautiful.
