Hello again, In Noosa at the mo and leaving this afternoon to go to Mooloolaba for an overnight stop and then on to Brisbane. Since leaving Airlie Beach I spent the night on a Cattle Ranch in Dingo, an overnight stop in Bargara where we watched baby turtles running to the sea, Hervey Bay and a 2 night self-drive trip on Fraser Island, and then to here in Noosa for a few nights!!!!! The night in Dingo was a great laugh and ended up getting rather d...
