7th March 2010

We were lucky enough not to be awoken by the six o’clock Sofia alarm this morning, unlike Anna and Nathan, but once we were all up we decided to drive up to Noosa. Noosa is a small town located about 75 miles) north of Brisbane on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

The town and surrounding area is popular with holidaymakers who visit for its sophisticated cafes, bars and restaurants, beaches and national parks. Unlike the Gold Coast, Noosa doesn’t have shedloads of high-rises and has protected its natural environment avoiding over-development by creating significant areas of national park.

We wandered along the main street where we had our final Boost juice before heading to the beach for Sofia to have a swim in the surf. The beach was really crowded, with plenty of surf lifesavers keeping watch. We then took the short beachfront walk to the point above the beach.

Koalas!

After a late lunch we were back to the car and back to Brisbane for beautiful crispy schnitzels.
