After a few stop offs all was well until the bus driver slammed on his brakes and the driver shouted out "Oh Sh.." i'd been looking out the side window as we were just going over a bridge, my eyees shot forward and looking underneath the sun screen that was pulled down to give the driver some shade I ...

... day) oops and a Koala. Saw all the basic animals a zoo has one guy was messing around with a tigar and was cuddling it and play fighting it - bit scary!! We had a free bus to and from the zoo which was good and we made a packed lunch to yes - save the pennies!!! Not much to talk about with the zoo. In the evening again just stayed in was meant to go out but still way to tired and have a bit of a cold still. But did talk to mum ...

... and in the waterways surrounding Noosa. All the best houses are, of course, at waters edge where they can moor their boats. We spent an amazing day boating around the area, stopping off at various sandbanks for a bit of sunbathing and alot of time coveting other peoples' houses in the area. I managed to fry myself during the day too, which is nice. New Year's Eve was a blast. Just the four of us cavorting around dressed up to the nines in the ...

... from Noosa but this gave us plenty of time to spend most of the day there. The zoo is quite interactive which is great and you learn about the animals and their habitat. We caught shows where they fed and talked about a giant turtle, we fed carrots to a few elephants and fed some overfed Wallabies and Kangaroos as they lolled around in the shade not needing to move a muscle as the food came to them. Around midday we attended a small ...

... she was eating all the chocolate and had become very high maintenance - far too high for the island to sustain.....there was even some mention of there being enough Dingoes on the island.......

After having washed most of the sand out of our ears (and nose, eyes and mouth) our schedule said "canoeing on Noosa river". Impeccable timing (by accident) brought us to Noosa right on time for Coolum Kite Festival, one of the biggest kite festivals in Australia (might be the biggest?). We spent a day marvelling the sky filled with huge mascot kites - some giant ones from Beijin Olympics - and watching stunt kite shows (stunt kite ballet, synchronised kiting etc). We had packed our ...

... restauranter. Jeg fik simpelt hen det dyreste på kortet ,Wagyou Beef filet ( angiveligt verdens bedste oksekød), til AU$. 35 ( på menukortet hos ReefNBeef's til 438 D.kr.), mens Mia og Janne nøjedes med mere beskedne men stadig gode retter til ca AU$ 20. En 400 g Scots Prime kostede til sammenligning AU$ 23. Mandag den 4. August. Så er vi nået frem til vores sidste dag i Australien. Vi har ikke det store tidspres, da vores fly til Singapore først har afgang ...

... for a swim in the sea - water was warm - pure sand on the shore and in the sea - so different to our childhood beach at Hengistbury Head near Bournemouth) - then started to listen to a book sat round the pool.... Late afternoon went to see the surfers - not much surf but they still managed to get some runs in. Saw the sun set - the surfers were still surfing......

... task normally, but avec hangover it was even worse. We raced against the boys again and once again the girls came out on top! And we started about 10 mins after them! It was opnly when the tent was all packed up and in it's bag that we asked the question "where are the keys?" Erm "in the tent' was my reply. In my drunken attempt at safekeeping the nite before I had put the keys in one of the little tent pockets inside. Which is where they still were. After ...

... girl (Seena) and an english girl (Claire). Monday I went for a run down to the beach with Claire and it was still raining. We decided to take advantage of the free kayak hire and went out on the river. We got soaked but it was good fun and we came across a family who'd hired a houseboat for a few days. It looked really nice so I asked how much it was and they let me jump on board and take a look around. Later I found out that you ...
