Day 29 Brisban to Noosa We arrive in Noosa just before lunchtime. The weather is beautiful so we decide to go for a walk in Noosa National Park. We've been told that we might see some wild koalas. We don't see any of them but we do see plenty of wild turkeys. As we walk through the national park towards the beach we go down a street that is full of millionaire houses, these houses are huge with swimming pools and tennis courts. I wouldn't mind owning one of thes...
