This past weekend we flew out to Brisbane (pronounced bris-bin), which is on the east side of the country about half way up, and headed north to the sunshine coast. its an area about an hour north and stretches for about an hour of beaches north of that. we stayed the first night in Noosa Heads, the north part of the sunshine coast, which is alot like the Carmel of Oz. Very nice, expensive and beautiful. We stayed in a cheap, excentric backpaker for the first night and then the rest in a condo traded down in Caloundra, which is at the very south of the Sunshine Coast. We had a blast enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, surf, beaches and all the cool stuff that part of Oz has to offer. We hiked around the Noosa Head, took a tour to Fraser Island, hiked around the Glasshouse Mountains, Justin surfed, and generally just soaked up the sun! What can I say, it was fabulous. Heres a few picks from the trip.
Noosa Heads
Dickey Beach-
named after the S.S. Dickey that ran ashore in 1893
Fraser Island-
is the biggest sand island in the world. all the plants growing on it grow in sand, which is amazing considering its a rain forest and the creeks make no sound because there are no rocks. all the water on the island is fresh and crystal clear.

Hey hottie!!! Looks beautiful! Keep up the fantastic adventures so I can live vicariously through them!!!
What a fun little getaway! I am jealous. It all looks so gorgeous. I have never been past Hawaii, so it's fun to see all your pictures from different countries. Someday we'd love to visit OZ
It's beautiful. What an adventure. I suppose that beats Tom and I's trip to Dari Mart in Springfield the other day.
Hi there you two. I was on Fraser Island 3 years ago. Loved it, and all the rest of the Great Barrier Reef.
Keep up with all the fun. Waiting for you to return to the real world!
