Too much fun (part one)

Obviously we have been having too much fun for me to keep up with the blogging! It's been about 3 maybe 4 weeks, I can't remember and really, who cares! 

So after the Gold Coast we stayed with some friends in Brissie for two nights. We mostly just relished the time catching up with friends and a visit to the museum - an attempt to provide an educational experience to the kids!

Whilst in Brissie my friend in Perth sent me a weather warning for South East qld warning terrible weather to come in the coming days - right where we would be camping, on the Sunshine Coast. None of us were feeling adventurous enough to risk flooding - in a tent. Luckily we were able to find an apartment with undercover parking for the same cost as a caravan park. The rain was incredible and we were grateful for a solid roof over our heads and liked it so much in fact that we stayed for 8 nights. 

Sunshine Coast was gorgeous but really busy. The day we went to explore Noosa we couldn't get a park and couldn't be bothered with the crowds. The beaches we did spend time at were lovely and you are spoilt for choice along that part of the coastline. One day we hired a boat to explore the inlet at Caloundra when Brendon's cousin and her family came to visit which was really fun and a highlight of the trip so far. 

Possibly the highlight of the Sunshine Coast was the Australia zoo. It is our favourite zoo we have been too. 

Lots of opportunities to get up close with the animals and super informative.
