Back on the bus again, up to Rainbow Beach this time! Had 4 nights here in Noosa which have been pretty chilled, unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side... When we got to the hostel (Flashpackers), we went straight down to Sunshine Beach for a few hours. It was beautiful down there and there was almost nobody in sight! It was also SO hot. By the time lunch came around, we were rather grateful to be getting in the shade with a cool drink. We found this littl...

How time has crept up on me! With 3 weeks to go, I realised I still had rather a lot to do... So it was time to actually sort out small things like travel insurance, where I'm going to stay when I land (Islander Backpackers Resort, Surfers Paradise as it turned out!) and an Aus bank account.
