Noosa is a National Park and the surrounding area is very picturesque. It is made up of four rivers and we stayed in the one called Noosaville in a small hostel right on the river...if only we had our own boat!! Unfortunately the weather turned really bad as a cyclone came down from Cairns and hit us pretty badly so we did not get to go on the water. The town itself is very small with afew shops and a beach. However whilst we were there we went to Australia Zoo home of Steve Irwin which was an amazing day! We got to feed elephants which only makes us more excited to actually ride them whilst in Thailand. It's Rainbow Beach next and Fraser Island 4x4 self drive...Dingoes here we come!! :)
