Noosa

This last week Maxine & I have taken off for Queensland beaches and a bit of well deserved R&R. We went up to Noosa Heads, about an hour north of Brisbane and a fairly big holiday destination over here. You'll be able to tell from the pictures that we didn't have the kids (Grandparent week!) so it was just the two of us.

We pretty much crashed on the beach at Noosa most of the week but as its the rainy season we did have a couple of days of rain where we hired a car and did a bit of local exploring to Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Montville and the Kondalilla national park. We also visted 'The Big Pineapple' plantation (for all of 10 minutes!) and also the world famous (*Now that Steve Irwin is dead!) Australia Zoo. The Crocodile Hunter may be no more but you wouldn't know it if you visted the zoo. Its a bit spooky really, they go on like it never happened with pictures of him everywhere. Bizzare.

All in all, we sunned ourselves & ate ourselves stupid, so it was a very pleasant week! See some pics here.

Suck in that gut Martin! Oops, sorry, you already are!

A sunny beach. You have two VERY jealous Canadian friends wishing they could join you. Oh well, back to shovelling out the drive...again.
