Sunshine Coast

Saturday we decided to venture North (without Fee, whew) where the weather would be warmer. We stopped in Noosa Heads to walk through the national park. We decided to break in our Kilimanjaro boots for the 2 hour "hike", but got funny looks from people because the path could easily be managed in sandals. BJ bought a nice pair of sunnies (sunglasses), which was a big deal because he cringes every time he has to spend money. It was such a tough sale (literally about 45 minutes) that the entire Sunglass Hut staff got their picture taken with us. Brady got a free bar of soap out of the deal and Katie walked away with a sweet beach ball. Oh the perks of tagging along...
We got up early Sunday morning to drive on the beach, which is the thing to do in this area. Drove in the sand for about 30 miles, stopping along the way to see the colored sands. Not a very eventful weekend (which was a good thing), but the scenery was gorgeous. The highlight (not really) of the trip was stopping at Steve Irwin's famous Australia Zoo to get our picture at the entrance but not pay the $60 to go in...true backpacker style, of course.

You really just have to be here...
