Sunshine Beach Surf Club Noosa

... snowboarding, as it's the same posture but it's a slightly softer landing. I found it ***********trol the board, we all had the same length surf board so i found it a little too big, i dont think i reached half way when i was laying down paddling. I managed to stand up like Gaz when they pushed you, but paddling was hard and the board has a mind of it's own turning sideways. Now we have to practice!<br><br>Oh off the surfing subject slightly, in our room ...

... than the loser taking a sip of drink everyone just decided to do it. By 8 oclock i was on a sand dune pretty much passed out and being sick everywhere. Not very plesant but a good or 'Goon' night. I decided to hit the hay for the night but Daniel was in our group and not used to drinking was passed out in our tent in MY sleeping bag! turns out he got so plastered after a few drinks they drew on his face and then got someone from our group to 'collect him' like a parent picking ...

Noosa is beautiful. Its probably the nicest town weve been to. Driving up to the beach we saw the biggest waves weve ever seen, and with them - hoards of the stereotypical surfer types hanging out in board shorts and bikinis in the sinking orange sun. Driving around Noosa was a joy. We found our way up high above the crashing surf to a beautiful look out point surrounded by lush green forest ...

... in Australia I think (and that's saying something!) The other people working there are really nice anyway so it's been good. Its made the other job things not seem as bad as well. G had Friday off work so we decided to go camping again ... the manager of the car rental place is a massive Liverpool fan so took a liking to G straight away! Because we went last minute they only had a car with a damaged boot, it was only cosmetic though still worked fine so we got a ...

... the sun beat down strongly, but this time I managed to keep reasonably well covered. The place was packed. Eventually the yachts came in to view and already Skandia had a pretty good lead. Lots of helicopters buzzed around and hundreds of boats surrounded them as they disappeared. Had a meal at Doyles fish restaurant then went back to Sydney and chilled overlooking the Opera house in the Opera house bar. Sat on the wall reading and listening to 3 aussie girls chatting ...

... it's difficult to manage anything at 200km ph), whilst hurtling to the ground. I loved every second of it. I'll research ways of converting the DVD and getting it on here for you to watch. And, it would seem that my Cheshire grin prevented the flappy wind face syndrome that almost everybody gets.....didn't do anything about the bingo wings though unfortunately. It was AWESOME. I spent Christmas with Katie and Matt (who've just got engaged ...

... in the mundane chores of running the farm: feeding the goats, fencing, gathering eggs and chasing renegade geese back into the pen. Naturally, when the farm is a biodynamic one, there are additional chores: spreading tree paste (a mixture of clay, water and the all mighty cow dung) on the trunks of all fruit trees, planting very specific plats on the very specific hour of a very specific day, and digging around cow horn burial ...

... on the back of the bog door!!!! Then we headed north for a wee detour. Julie went to Steve Irwins Australia Zoo, where she got to meet the local wildlife, feed a few locals and try to get out without getting spat on, kicked or covered in you know what.................a bit like going to watch an Old Firm game!!! While Julie was going Bush I was going down under............scuba diving a ship wreck off the Mooloolaba coast (the HMAS ...

... we de guana n de gaten. Hij liep wat om ons heen te kuieren, sleepte zijn keel door het zand, ging eens helemaal liggen en liep er toen vandoor. Pfff. Gelukkig. Lunchtijd. Lara en ik haalden onze boterhammen tevoorschijn en ineens liep daar weer een guana. Een andere... en de eerste kwam terug... damn: zie je die enorme daar?? Voor we het wisten zaten wij weer middenop de picknicktafel en waren we omsingeld door drie guana's. Grote guana's. Ze cirkelden wat en gingen ...

... Man hoert sie, man sieht sie... aber aufm Foto erkennt man sie irgendwie nicht. Nun ja, nen Walk durch den Dschungel koennen wir uns schon noch genehmigen. Also 1,2 km durch Gestruepp... an jedem Baum angehalten und ihn bestaunt, wie echte Touris :) ja, fuer die ersten 10 Meter. Dann nur noch dieses ich-will-endlich-raus-hier, man wird immer schneller, macht keine Fotos mehr... irgendwann sind wir draussen und fahren ...
