Hello friends,
We left Fraser Island Saturday morning by ferry, heading to Hervey Bay to explore the area for a few days. After checking into our digs, we spent the day catching up on email and doing laundry. Yes, we do occasionally have to do a few chores!
On Sunday we took a walk along the Hervey Bay Esplanade, then we decided to drive South - first through Maryborough, next through Gympie, ending at Noosa Heads and Noosa National Park. The coastal drive is very scenic and lovely. The road winds its way through lush green farm land meeting the thick pine and paperbark forests of the mountain ridgeline. On the other side of the highway the sea comes crashing in on the coast. Contrasting blue skies and white clouds against the numerous shades of the green of Spring is incredibly beautiful.
After making our way to Noosa we returned to Hervey Bay to relax and watch a bit of TV.
Today (Monday) we again headed South to explore Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach areas. While Rainbow Beach is not the most gorgeous beach we've ever seen it is still quite beautiful. It gets it's name from the various shades of water near the beach as it mixes with the minerals and sand from the shore. As the waves crash on the coast it does look like a rainbow of sorts. Deep turquoise blue, then shades of brown, then light brown, then mixing with the sand. Very different and still very lovely. The ocean was particularly choppy today as we had rainshowers move through the area this morning - perhaps adding to the erosion happening along the coast. We repeated our route from yesterday back to Hervey Bay because it was so lovely.
Early tomorrow morning we catch a 6:30 am flight to Adelaide where we will spend 3 days exploring the area.
Stay tuned.
