Marcoola Beach Resort Apartments Maroochydore

The decision to spend 3 days camping in Maroochydore was one of necessity.  Hervey Bay Hospital decided that they would only need someone for 2 weeks now instead of 5.  When I say decided, it was actually more of "we never had enough funding for 5 weeks".  Kinda makes me wonder if I'll get paid...  <br><br>So anyway, camping was fun.  Peaceful, relaxing, and generally not doing much at all.  The amount of high rise buildings was amazing.  The place just reminded ...

... house dancing to cheesy music and amusing each other. As midnight approached Lee decided to liven things up and performed an I would say semi professional dance for us on the kitchen table. He swore he hadn't practised but if he didn't he's a natural. I did ask permission to reproduce the photos from that performance (which he agreed to) but now I have viewed them again I feel it only prudent not to. Heather looks like she's having far ...

... Cela nous a alors donne l'occasion de faire de nouvelles choses et de sortir de notre routine ! Nous avons ete manger dans les bons restos d'Hasting street, nous avons ete decouvrir de nouvelles plages des environs, nous avons ete au Eumoundi market, un marche tres populaire et tres tres grand a 30 minutes d'ici, nous avons fait des BBQ (tradition australienne des plus rependues) entre amis, etc, etc. Bref nous avons eu beaucoup de ...

... i flere omgange. Det der startede som et lille privat "wildlife"internat beskæftiger i dag mere end 500 ansatte og er nu en af Australiens største attraktioner som årligt besøges af mere end en million turister. Men det er stadig familien Irwin, og først og fremmest Steve Irwins enke, Terry, og hans datter, den nu 10 årige Bindi, der tegner Australia Zoo overfor omverdenen. Det mindes man konstant om, når man besøger haven. Overalt er der billeder og videop ...

... Then I got back to Brisbane and met another girl from Calgary. Small world. Well, not as small as some would think. I had a charmingly ignorant Irish man ask me if I dressed like "this" at home to which I replied "well, yes...during the summer". Apparently he had this notion that all us Canadians wore Stetsons, rode horses and lived on ranches. Better yet, I had another equally brilliant man ask what it was like to live in year-round snow ...

... reason Amanda had come to Australia. in the first place. It was a great day out, feeding the very lethargic kangaroos (they seemed drugged), stroking the koalas and walking a wombat. Amanda's dream came true when she had her picture taken with one of the cute koalas. I was a bit disappointed there was no duck-billed platypus although the Tasmanian devil and tiger cubs made up for it.

auf dem weg nach noosa kam der passende song (we're all going to noosa) im radio, das war lustig. noosa besteht aus 5 oder mehr stadtteilen und ich bin in einem der ruhigsten gelandet. zudem habe ich ein einzelzimmer in einem apartment erwischt, was guenstiger war als in einem richtigen hostel in einem 12er zimmer zu schlafen. in der naehe gibt es einen kleinen nationalpark, durch den ich am naechsten tag stundenlang spaziert bin. immer ...

... just the right opportunity.  I started kicking furiously, but too late, and just missed my first attempt.  Of course, I then discovered that big waves normally come in sets, and so having moved forward a bit, I was then at the point where the waves were at the highest point and starting to crest.  Rising about 12 feet and falling with the weight of thousands of gallons of water, I was then trounced, spun like a shoe in a dryer, and water forced far into my ...

... friends "The Molloy Family".The guys in Brisbane were lovely and allowed us to enjoy home comforts for a while...comfy sofas, kitchen, big tv screenn But I'll be honest and say it was great to leave the city and head off on the road again. Shane and Row have just left Australia (saturday) to go travelling in the UK and Ireland. I hope the rain stops soon ...

... in Brisbane and then we spent the day walking around Maroochydore. That is when I discovered, much to my dismay, that Sarah is a super-tourist with her camera. These pictures are the result.
