Yesterday we departed busy Brisbane to head 1700km North to Cairns. Allocating up to a month to get ourselves there and back – plan being to sell Mimi (our beloved home on wheels for this trip) in Cairns and fly back down.
Our first stop was Noosa, just a simple 2hr drive North (I’ll need not state this too often – as the majority/entirity of our trip will be in this general direction). Smooth drive down just before Midday we arrived, and first stop after a mooch about, was of course the famous Betty’s Burgers. It lived up to it’s hype, one of the best burgers $10 can purchase. After exploring a little bit, we opted for an early night back at the campsite, taking our time to ready everything at the site itself – we found ourselves in bed ready for sleep pre-9pm!
Today we woke at 7am, dressed and straight down to grab a parking spot – of which seem to be gold dust in Noosa! Succesfully finding one, we went on a nice morning hike – about 2 hours all in all. Starting at Noosa National Park and ending at Hell’s Gate, it was a gorgeous wrap around coastal walk, with consistently stunning beach and seaviews. Unfortunately we spotted no Koalas or Whales on our walk, which were said to be common, heyho! The rest of our day was spent labourosly lounging around on the beach in the almost perfect winters sun, it was around 22c but felt a shade warmer. What a taxing afternoon, sun sea sand and.. gelato! From massimo’s very popular ice cream shop. Yum.
It’s getting dark around 5 so early starts and early evenings will be the routine of most days.
Overrall Noosa is lovely – a beautiful vacation/break destination and as nice for a camping stop. Next stop, Harvey Bay! Speak soon and we hope the pictures do the beautifulness of Noosa some justice!
