Breakfast on the balcony with Carol and David, which doesn't happen very often. The children went to their other family to celebrate a birthday, so we entertained ourselves in Noosa a top tourist destination on the Sunshine Coast.
Noosa is a sheltered beach and the waves are not big, but recently storms have washed away much of the sand and beach.
The life savers are patrolling in their boat.
Rather than swim we preferred to find a restaurant for lunch. This one had a great view and good food......
.......and good service, the waiter insisted on taking a photo of us.
Bill had salmon on a veggie salad
I had a pear and blue cheese salad on brazil nut polenta and roast pumpkin. (Yum,Yum)
After lunch we strolled along the boardwalk......
....into the forest.....
...with the bush turkeys.....
......and back onto the main street (Hastings)......
......where there are restaurants and.....
...tourist shops and....
...ugly resorts and....
...expensive jewellery and dress shops and......
nice coffee shops and...
...Real Estate Agents selling apartments for 2.2 million dollars.
Evening Diane
ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I visited Noosa. It has changed so much. You have reminded me that I would like to visit once again.

Very interested! Wish I had money enough to see all of Australia. Thanks for letting me do that vicariously.

ReplyDeleteLove the photos, Diane. It's like taking a little walk there myself! I'd like to visit Noosa one day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a relaxing and enjoyable day. I'm with you... I'd be beach-watching over swimming anyway. Great shots of the little shops in the village.
ReplyDeleteOnly 2.2 million.....I`ll take 10....lol....
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Diane....I`m determined to get back to queensland....Recently I just got back in contact with an Aunt who lives there so it`ll be a good excuse to travel over there....
A great visit Diane...Noosa the most expensive Real Estate in Australia I read somewhere once...
ReplyDeleteA beautiful spot...I love the north coast particularly the wild side on Sunshine Beach and the wind...normally a person who detests wind but is fitting on the Sunshine Beach.....
Oh yes enjoyed the lunch with you, the taste buds are imagining
