Noosa Heads for

Last weekend was Mariana's Birthday so we headed up to Noosa Heads to spend a day in the sun, out and about.

Noosa Heads is a state park located about two hours north of Brisbane's CBD, on the top of The Sunshine Coast. It is a beautiful parkland teeming with native wildlife, gorgeous beaches, and stunning views up the coast and inland to the mountains that dot the Queensland interior. There is also four points that line the headland and are considered some of the best surf spots in Australia when they are on. It was flat that day but we'll be back for sure.

We drove up but half way there we almost had to turn around as I was not sure if I had turned off the coffee pot. After some drama and contemplation we decided to risk it as there was still coffee in the pot and would probably not melt if left on. My rationale was that a modern coffee maker probably has a auto shut off switch but that was wild speculation. We gave caution to the wind and just went for it.

We arrived in Noosaville which is the town that borders the beaches. It is a beutiful town that reminded us of Laguna Beach but smaller. Artsy with money was the theme. We walked for a bit then had a bite of brekky and headed on.

We then went to the beach for a couple of hours. The water is starting to cool down here but is still about 72 degrees which is cold considering it was 80 last month. With the sea breeze it was nippy but the sand was warm and it was a nice afternoon none the less. We eventually took a swim and found that as long as you stayed "neck deep" it was warm.

We then took a hike around the headland and then had a nice lunch with some food we brought with us.

There is an abundance of wildlife in the park and all of Australia for that matter, we saw many interesting species including, wild turkeys, kangaroos, a koala, and some interesting wild birds.

All in all it was a beautiful day. We were relieved when we got home that the coffee maker was indeed off and the house was still in one piece.
