Helen and Randall on the road

Ah, lovely Noosa. After 2 long days of driving (with a stopover in the slightly bizarre Rockhampton) we arrive at our final destination before dropping our little campervan off in Brisbane.

Noosa is basically a holiday resort and it is school holidays so the campsite is busy but, like all the other campsites we have stayed in, the facilities (kitchen, laundry, showers and loos) and excellent and the people friendly. Our little van looked a bit sad next to all the other huge tents and caravans, not to mention the great muscular massive-engined 4WD vehicles that everyone seems to drive (to pull their caravans, I guess…).

We drove up to the centre of town and went for a walk on the main beach:

Then on our way to the National Park walks we passed the hat shop of the gods, where Randall – for the first time in his adult life, found a hat that fits him:

Then we headed back to the beach, inexplicably humming the theme tune to Indiana Jones as we went…:

Happy man with hat on beach.

Before finding the entrance to the national park and going for a coastal/forestry 2 hour walk:

interesting wildlife crosses our path…

beautiful beaches…less beautiful naked men frolicking in the surf…
