Maroochydore-Noosa

After spending a couple of days in Brisbane, went up to a place called Maroochydore. Went Steve Irwins Australia zoo, sadly didn't see the crocodile hunter there, but saw lots of crocs and stuff. Stroked a Koala.

Maroochydore was only a small place, though with a big shopping centre.
After Maroochydore went up to Noosa, got there yesterday. The hostel here is lovely, big old wooden Queenslander house.

Went surfing today for the first time!!!! Actually managed to stand up as well, (though only once and for about 5 seconds before I fell off). Apparently I nearly had it, but for some reason I didn't want to let go of the board, nevemind, going to go again on saturday I think. Noosa is about the last place going up the east coast where you can surf, so had better make the most of it. Going kayaking in about an hour. I think that i'll sleep well tonight. My legs and arms are already covered in bruises from where the surf board whacked into me.

Currently trying to decide whether to go to Fraser island from Noosa or from Rainbow beach (both of these places are cheaper than Hervey bay). Was going to on Saturday, but think that I have promised someone that I'll go out for their birthday on saturday, Not that there is any particular rush.

Might go horse riding as well again as thats supposed to be cheap as well. I can see myself staying in Noosa for a while. As there loads of things to do here, might also do a tour into the Hinterland and the edumundi markets.

Weathers getting warmer, finally, I've actually got my shorts on today as well. I love winter here!!!

Will manage photos eventually, but haven't taken any for a while so not ready to burn another cd yet.

Better go, have to get lunch before kayaking. Fingers crossed I'll see some dolphins
