Fraser Island Tour (Wed 18th-Fri 20th March 2009) We finally got out to Fraser island, a week later than originally planned with our tour operator Trailblazer's. We got pic ked up from Rainbow Beach about 10 am and our tour guide Peda seemed pretty cool! (Peda apparently Welsh for Peter, but we had never heard of it!!!) We woke up to sunshine and cloud but as we headed to Inskip point to catch the ferry across to the isalnd the weather started to get worse and ...

Back to Rainbow Beach......again! Om Monday 16th March we caught the bus back to Rainbow beach so we could get out to Fraser Island on Wednesday! And what a difference the sunshine makes!!!! Its birght and pretty and not as boring because you are able to g for walks and relax on the beautiful coloured sands beach!

Because it had raine...

We arrived to relatively nice weather and the bus pulled up in the tiny little township on the Fraser Coast! It’s really small....there is a strip of local amenity shops (half dozen each side) which leads to the big vast beach. Before the shops is a big footbal...

Sunshine Coast Part 3 We arrived in Noosa on Friday 6th March at lunchtime and luckily the YHA hostel was right opposite the bus station! Halse Lodge was up a steeeep hill and looked really pretty, with much of it still remaining in its 1880’s timber frame. Noosa Heads is surrounded by lots of beautiful beaches, some within the National Park. We took a walk along the popular Hastings Street where it all tends to happen. Feels like the most touristy spot that ...
