Noosa Blue Resort

Have I landed in America by mistake?

... You can get so close to them. We were able to stroke a koala (they are so cute and I would love one as a pet!), and there is a big area where you can feed the kangaroos, I was amazed at how tame they are! <br><br>We are spending the night in a place called Noosa, apparently it is a favourite destination for Australians to go on holiday so it should be good! x

We came to Noosa for a couple of nights. The town is quite a posh area and a nice place to chill out. The waves on the beach were great for surfing and we had a go swimming in them and probabaly swallowed a litre of salt water in the process! Noosa is also the home of the Australia Zoo which Steve Irwin used to run. Noosa was a very senice place and we walked through the national park there. Had a nice quiet time in Noosa which was much needed after Fraser Island!

... and headed off, and it never rained on us again the rest of the day. We got to hold a Koala, baby crocodile, wombat , and a python). And got to see a huge crocodile they fed. We pretty much followed a guide that explained about each animal, and got to get up close, (except for the big croc of course). The kids weren't the least bit scared, and Sienna was so taken with the kangaroos, they followed her everywhere, and we got to see a ...

... simpler way to have done this but there's a good reason for it. Brisbane is a confusing and, at times, intimidating place to drive. It's all five lane, one way systems and you need eyes up your ass. I could never have found my way without someone reading the map and Katie did a pretty impressive job and got us there almost first time. We'd still be driving around there now if one of us had followed the other so we got a train back for about $2 each. A saving of about ...

... into the small hours. I'm not just being miserable, I like a drink and a laugh as much as anyone, but not every night with total disregard for others. Its sad. An absolute waste of an opportunity. I see it as a privilege to be from a country and a family that has allowed me to be in the position to come and do this, and to watch people just **** it up the wall drives me ****ing mental. Anyway, after 3 straight nights with no sleep we decided to ...

... coast. If you were living here you'd never need to head away on holidays at all! Again we only had time to spend one night here so we just had time to look around a bit and go hunting for koala in the wild in the local park...which we did! Madness, never thought we would see one there. Tough little fella to see though. They blend in to the trees so you'd barely see them. So many people were walking around the park with looking for ...

... briefing place where they would tell us how to drive on the sand as fraser is a sand island. The talk was pretty clear - do anything slightly wrong and you will die! Dingos, snakes, spiders and big lizards called goanas are a threat on the island along with the tides, washouts and hump di doos (snad dip and sand humps) not to mention just driving on the bumpy sand tracks! If you damage the car in any way you have to pay for it obviously. That scared us a bit ...

... every day), grabbed some quick brekkie and headed off to the jeep rental place to face the music after the damage we'd experienced on Frazer Island.<br><br>The tyre cost marginally less than they suggested last night, but they then added on a charge ...
