Our original plan went down in flames this morning. Our intention was to ferry to then walk across Fraser Island and spend the night at a hostel on the ocean. Instead we were told that our planned hike of 35km was futile in a single day due to the remoteness of the island and that guided tours (at a few hundred a person) were the only way you could visit. We also overslept and didn't have any food, didn't pack for the excursion, didn't have a room on the island and didn't know the ferry schedule so I guess this wasn't too much of a surprise. So after a quick breakfast in Hervey Bay we set our sites south for Noosa National Park where we spent the day hiking through forest and along coasts and bays - probably amonst the nicest either of us have seen. In additon to the landscapes we also spied exotic birds, Australian turkey, a flock of naked men sunning on rocks (we learned that Alexandria cove is the home of the annual nude Olympics), and a koala bear!
After watching the sun set with a glass of Australian wine at Dolphin Point we headed on further south and are now settled into our studio apartment just north of lovely Brisbane.
