Thursday 3rd December


Noosa Head national park, no koala’s in woods but a bare on the beach, wrong turn & Rainbow beach...

Janet is back behind the wheel today and the driving is improving, even if she did bump up a kerb or two... Noosa Head national park was the destination and wow what a lovely place. An open forest growing on the edge of the beach. The signs informed us that Koala’s lived there but we have decided there are no such creatures as we have yet to see one and the only kangaroo spotted so far was a road kill, we hesitated briefly thinking it could make bbq tucker but the haze of flies deterred us.


Anyway, back to Noosa Head, we had a lovely walk, although the constant canopy gazing in search of the grey furry creatures is not the best form of walking. (Note – do not call them Koala bears – they are not bears and the locals don’t like it). One part of the walk brings you out at Hells Hole, high up looking down the rocks with the waves crashing against them - reminded us of some parts of Cornwall – but with hot weather. The walk then went along the beach where we saw a form of bare – definitely male but not very attractive!

We then headed off for Rainbow Beach which was a very scenic trip through the pine forests and over the mountains. Jeff decided to take a short cut but unfortunately we ran out of tarmac and had to turn round – the van was not fit for off roading. After what appeared to be an eternity of pine forest we finally arrived at Rainbow Beach and the campsite was located at the top of the dunes overlooking the sea. The beach was stunning – are you getting a theme here?


love & hugs
