Australia Day 9 & 10 – Noosa

Sunday was a quiet day, Carla and I drove down into Noosa and walked around a bit. We walked along the Noosa river and watched the pelicans, they really are funny birds, especially when they sit perched on the lights trying to look elegant.

We went for a drive all over the place on Monday, starting at Tinbeerwah lookout which is a great place to look over the whole of the area.

Next was Noosa National Park, we had a short walk to what is called the Boiling Pot.
Along the way Carla spotted a Koala in the tree which was really great to see. Carla had demanded to see Kangaroos and Koala on the trip, so now she had seen both.

We picked up Rob who had been working in the morning and went to a restaurant a little out in the country where we had Kookabarra’s watching us eat our lunch.

Rob then took us to Cootharaba and Boreens Point, there were the larger wild Kangaroo’s (The ones on the property are actually wallabies) there. Carla and I were able to get quite close to them and watch them eating.

We went to Christmas Mass in the evening in Cooroy. It is a small little church with only one Mass as the priest does all the services for the whole area.
Later that evening we went for a drive to see the houses that had been done up with Christmas lights. Some areas were quite spectacular with the amount of effort people had put in to doing up the house for Christmas.
