Mooloolaba

We hopped on the train and went North to a place in Sunshine Coast called Mooloolaba (say that 10 times fast). Our host Mahu, his three kids and another CouchSurfer picked us up and we tagged along for the day. The first stop we went to was a local watering hole called Gardner Falls. Here people were cliff jumping and going off rope swings into the deep pools at the base of the waterfall. After some ice cream and games with the kids we headed back to their house. We joined Mahu for a hard workout at the beach and then cooled off, bodysurfing in the waves.

Their home was our home for the coming few days. We cooked, played games and went to the beach together. We got around by bus, or borrowed some bikes. And check out those beautiful tie wraps on the helmet. They're not just fashionable, but are also protection against swooping magpies!Leggi altro
