well we arrived and it took them 6 weeks to get rid of us! ha!! we had such a good time that it was imposable to tear ourselves away. we were a short ride away from the beach but surronded by beautiful countryside. no beer could be found anywhere , except in the stomachs, ha! noosa was the nearest beachwhich was great with only a short walk around the cove to a small but sheltered beach away from the crowds. we were there so long the locals started to reconise us . weather stopped our onward movement but couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Thanks caz and Rob
