This is what I imagined Queensland to be like. Perfect, beautiful sandy beaches. Lush, green and tropical bush. Beautiful skies and warm, clear water.
About an hour and a half north of Brisbane is the Sunshine Coast, and at the northern end of that Noosa Heads. Fairly touristy in some parts it is worth heading a little past the main beach and into the national park. Here you will find secluded, quiet and beautiful beaches with decent surf and nice shallow warm water. Watch for rips though.
I swam for about 4 hours, relaxing in the surf while Jess, one of Tegan’s friends who played navigator for my trip up the coast sunbathed and did assignments. I had a great day, capping it off with a fantastic fish burger and a visit to the Big Pineapple! Rock and Roll! I was a little disappointed in myself that I didn’t stop at Aussie Land and aussie it up something cruel, but I did get Jess to get a photo as we went past the Ettamogah Pub.
