Noosa

| Location : 170kms North of Brisbane |
Population : 20,000 |
Located on the Noosa River, catering
predominantly for the upmarket vacationer |
Info
Noosa is split into 3 main communities - Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Noosa
Junction, spread around tributaries of the river. Quite a holiday favourite with
Australians and boasted lots of nice cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques.
Also very popular with backpackers. Hit the 'Big Pineapple' on our way there - a
much neater set up than the 'banana' at Coffs. Did an interesting tour of the
pineapple and macadamia nut plantations. Also visited the Eumundi craft markets
(every Weds & Sat) where George found his tatoo! Noosa Heads had some lovely
walks - we decided to take the more energetic option of running the coastal
route - a wonderful way to watch the sun set. You'd think with all these regular
reports of running we'd be fit - however, the local temptations of food and wine
are well in excess of our sporadic exercise regime! Ah well!!!
