South Pacific Noosa

... at the Noosa Food and Wine Festival, which was excellent. You have vouchers for wine tasting and for plates of food. They were all really good and they are quite happy for you to have a few tastings for free!! Ashley Manix was amazing...a bit like Katie Melua. Marsha Hynes was phenomenal....I even danced at the front of the stage!! :-0 Will definately go back to Noosa, as it makes me so happy to be there.

... Reifen ohne Profil, stinkende schwarze Abgase uvm. ging unserem Bruno den Umständen entsprechend gut oder eher auch nicht. Nach 2harten Sale und Surfwochen, waren wir froh den Bruno bei dem Käufer in Bayron Bay abzustellen. Durch die gute Redegewandtheit von Niggel und der Vorhersagerrei von Brina verkaufte sich der Van zu einem sehr guten Preis!!!! Mit 4 Koffern, 2 Brettern, einer Essenstasche, einem Kite und einem Kiteboard ging es in einem ...

... that you can hire a bike for the day and as i have just missed the shuttle i decide to do just that. I grab my mountain bike and head out, its a cloudy morning but warm and I feel quite happy, I even have a bell on the bike which I ring for the hell of it as it sounds funny. I head into noosa and grab some breakfast on the go which I eat near the beach watching the surfers come in. I then head to Noosa National Park which is ...

I've been returning to Noosa on and off for the last 12 years or so and in that time its grown, not vertically like the Gold coast but it has sprawled. Nevertheless it is still a beautiful area to discover and the North Shore and Fraser are both great places to explore...but this time i was based in Sunshine beach, in a house swap organized by my mum through homelink. I was also here to see my Dad who moved out to Noosa almost 20 years ago when you could ...

... which included a free glass of wine. Which I'm obviously not going to miss. There werent many travellers that night, but I met a guy from Australia and girl from England, and we ended up going out and exploring the towns bars on Sunday. The next day I walked about a mile out of town to the Noosa National Park. They have several kms of trails. I started off on a track through some rainforest. It ...

... There have been highlights in just this last month, some of the very best days, weeks, moments of my life that will not be forgotten anytime soon. I arrived in Noosa, Australia yesterday exhausted. I've been almost constanly with people everyday since I left Sydney with little time to think and reflect and spent some time doing that today. I've ...

... spare one. So we headed back up the river with Keaney and myself towing the spare cannoe with all the stuff. The water was still pretty choppy but we carried on and came across another group who capsized. We helped them out and went on. We had to cross a bit of a lake so we paddled on however the cannoe that we were towing made it really hard to paddle and steer. About half way across the lake the wind broadsided the spare canoe and it capzised ...

... of red. Chris, Jane and Karen said it was yummy and then we all chatted in front of the TV and finally went to bed as all the fresh air had done us in again. Now today it's off to Brisbane for a whole week which should be fun. We want to go to the zoo and check out as much as we can whilst we're there. It'll be nice to be able to unpack a little bit lol as I hate living out of a bag so much. Off now to get dressed and pack! Lots of love Smiffy xxxxxxxxx

    After four days of grim overcast I awoke yesterday (again, at an uncharacteristic 6:30am) to find a cloudless blue sky.  I ran about five miles, hearing the excited chirruping of an incredible diversity of birds-magpies, butcherbirds, bee eaters, and rosellas.  When I made it to the same beachhead from my earlier run, near the Currimundi estuary, bunches of surfers were already suiting up in the parking lot.  Things were already starting to warm up as I ...
