Day 49-50 We got to Roma Street Station in Brisbane about 45 minutes than planned and were told that our connecting coach would mean an hours wait at Nambour. It made for a long travel especially when we realised that the place was surrounded by smelly people. When we arrived in Noosa we checked in to our hostel and picked some leaflets from the Tourist Information and then strolled along the Main Beach. Eventually we reached the point where the sea and the ri...

Day 48 We left the grotty hostel as early as possible and moved to a much improved one. From there we sorted out our bookings for Fraser Island and Noosa. Then we headed back into town to take a look at some of the historical landmarks. First we looked at The Mansions, then Parliament House and then Government House before we headed into the Botanical Gardens. After sitting in the park we headed to the Old Navel Office via Eagle Street Pier for a lookout across...

Day 47 Fortunately we had only booked 2 nights in our dirrrty hostel, but we needed one more to give us enough time to get round Brisbane so we headed to the CBD to arrange it with another hostel.

Al did get some funny looks. We walked towards Kangaroo Valley, but there wa...

So we decided to indulge on a slap up lunch. We headed into the CBD and found a Tepanyaki where Lorna...

Day 45 We headed to the surf shop for our lesson and we were greeted by Brad. To our surprise there was no-one else booked in for a lesson, normally there would be upto 12 people to 1 instructor. Luckily for us we had an instructor each. We started off learning the basics of how to lie on the board properly, how to paddle and then how to stand up all on the beach before we went into the water. To start off with it was really difficult to pick the right wave le...
