It was time to say goodbye to Byron Bay and hit the road again. We travelled up the Gold Coast and made a quick stop at Surfers Paradise. The name sounds more fabulous than the actual town. If you like booze cruises, foam parties and amusement parks, you would like this town.
After lunch we got back on the road toward Noosa, our final destination for the night. But before getting there we had a few more adventures and photo ops to take advantage of. First, the Glass House Mountains, 16 volcanic mountains that hold spiritual significance to the local Aboriginal people. On the road up to the lookout point we saw a kangaroo grabbing some dinner on the side of the road. When we pulled over to take pictures, we saw that she had a little one popping its head out of her pouch! Needless to say, that was pretty cool - I took about 500 pictures of the kangaroo bending over and eating, the kangaroo standing up and eating, the kangaroo looking at us and eating...you get the idea.
Next sighting, a "big" black spider.
Last cool sighting, a couple Wallabies having some dinner. We watched them for a bit and took another rediculous amount of pictures. They eventually hopped away, which was just about the cutest thing watching thier tails bounces up and down in unison as the hopped!
We finally found Noosa and our hotel. In the dark, Noosa was a great little town! We were anxious to see it in the daylight!
