Noosa - Day 3

The last of the Noosa entries... just thought I should write a little bit about our last day in Noosa to kind of explain some of the photos in the slideshow...

We got to sleep in again on our last day in Noosa... Beth slept in until 7:30am again... her timing was perfect... made us really feel like we were on holiday. After a quick bite of breakfast, we decided we would wander down to Noosa National Park, which was only a 5 minute walk from where we were staying. There is a boardwalk (which was a bit bumpy for poor Beth and her stroller, although she didn't seem to mind at all) which goes most of the way to the national park... When we got to the national park, we picked up a pamphlet and for some bizarre reason, we thought walk the 30-45 minute trail... which turned out to on a rough trail, bumpy and a bit scary because it was all dark because of the tall trees. After about 5 mins, we decided to turn around... and then we discovered there was a coastal walk that was suitable for strollers and wheelchairs... so took that walk... it was a beautiful walk... the beautiful ocean views on one side and gorgeous green national park greenery on the other side... It was a bit hilly in parts (and boy do you get a good workout pushing a stroller uphill!) but it was worth the walk for the stunning scenery! We probably walked for about 1/2 an hour before heading back. Once we got back it was time for some water fun... more pool time... lunch, nap and then beach time! (The photos in the slideshow pretty much tell the story here). When we got back from the beach, we had another little dip in the pool and then we just chilled out and had dinner. Dinner that night was lamb chops and sausages... and we had a kookaburra come and visit and eye off our food. We tried to give him some bread.... but he just looked at it as if to say "Nope... that doesn't interest me." When our food cooked, we gave him a bit of sausage which he picked up and banged about first (to make sure it was dead I guess) before eating it. Then we tried to fool him with another piece of bread, but another kookaburra swooped and stole the bread! It was pretty cool getting up close with the wildlife like that.
After dinner, Phan had a cornetto, which Beth accosted (again see slideshow for details) and refused to let Phan eat any of it... it was hilarious how much she loved that cornetto! And that was pretty much the end of our holiday. The next morning, Beth got up really early (6am!) and was sooo tired, but didn't want to go back to sleep. We left to head home at 9am and Beth crashed and fell asleep within 10 minutes of us leaving and slept pretty much all the way home.

So there it is - our holiday in a nutshell... Noosa is a great place to visit, I'd highly recommend it!
