Today we headed for the Northmost point that we were going to make as we are half way through our trip. We were just going to go to the middle of the sunshine coast and stop but after a quick text from James he recommended Noosa Heads at the Northmost point of the sunshine coast. We headed on up there and had a look around and cooked our last curries for lunch at a place called Coulandra. Today our main goal was to find a place we could shower but it wasn’t going to be easy. Our budget is now a little more than tight at best so we needed a cheap hotel where we could get one night in a bed and a shower. We found the cheapest hotel in Noosa was not at all cheap and was a room over a loud pub full of Australian football fans and gambling grannies. Noosa would have been a lovely place to stay if it was the only place you went to and you had money, but as the woman in the tourist information said to me wrinkling up her nose, ‘we don’t really do back packers here.’ We decided that we had gone North enough when it started to belt down with rain. The Sunshine coast wasn’t living up to its name at all and the beaches here although pleasant were nothing like as good for lying on as the Gold coast ones. We pottered around the sunshine coast a bit more looking for cheap places to stay, including following a sign with a picture of a bed on it for about 8 miles before finding it wasn’t leading us to the just-off-the-highway-cheap-motel but to a 4* luxury B&B, but ended up getting on the highway to Brisbane and staying in the suburbs in an area that was to be housing but wasn’t finished yet so again no parking restrictions. The place we stayed was called Redcliff and at the end of this evening we had totalled a massive 2883 kilometres! It rained most of the night. So much for sunshine coast! When we got up in the morning we also discovered that all the ice in our cool box had turned to water and our veggies and cheese were all wet!
