A Noosa New Year

We took our first holiday outside of Victoria over New Year. It was all a bit last minute (as is our usual way) so there was not a lot left accommodation wise. We finally managed to find pretty much the last apartment in the whole of Noosa though and we booked our flights.

I still find it crazy that after a flight of nearly 2 hours we landed in the same country, if we’d have done that flight from the Uk we would have ended up in Italy!
Due to our disorganisation spontaneity the last apartment in the whole of Noosa was about 5k from Noosa Heads which is where Hastings Street and Noosa main beach is. At first I was a bit disappointed we were what I thought was really far away, but in actual fact I think we were in the right place given that we have the Bear. Hastings Street is lovely but it is not really a family place of a night. Also if we had been staying nearer to Hastings Street we wouldn’t have got to know about all the other cool things there are to do like get the ferry up the Noosa river.

Back to the future (or Happy New Year)

I really really wanted to blog on the first day of the year to wish you a Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, however I will have to make do with blogging on the second day of the year instead as I have only just got internet access so I am quickly blogging from the Qantas lounge at Brisbane airport before we head on back to Melbourne.

Happy New Year from what I thought was the Gold Coast but turns out is actually not the Gold Coast at all, but is in fact the Sunshine Coast. Thanks to coloursofsunset for putting me right on that little detail. Apparently we are actually 2 hours away from the real Gold Coast! I started my blog in part to be memories of our time here, not a very good blog if I can’t even work out where I am is it. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you I had a Geography degree would you.
