Noosa

After a quick run for me and some breakfast at the cafe, we booked a pontoon boat to take along the river at Noosa. The boat was ideal for the girls, with a big shade and large flat area for Rosie to walk about. Matt and Simon shared the steering and had to avoid quite a few sand bars and shallow areas. We stopped off at a beach and Rosie and Poppy played happily in the sand. Matt caught a bream and Rosie reeled it in.
Then headed up the river to have a look around. Saw what looked like sea eagles flying above the river. At the other end there were some very fancy and expensive looking river front houses! Apparently Richard Branson has a house here.
Stopped off for some lunch and did a bit more fishing. I caught another bream which we kept alive in a bucket of river water as we didn't have a cool box. Cooked the other one on the boat BBQ and had some for lunch.
Rosie had a go at steering on the way back when we had fewer obstacles. She was so happy sitting with Simon and learning how to steer the boat. She said a few days after that this was one of the best things of the trip 😊
In the afternoon we drove to the forest reserve nearby. Matt, Simon and Yvonne did the coastal walk and saw a whale jumping out of the water from a distance which made a huge splash. Then once the girls woke up we went down to the beach for an ice cream and a play. Rosie walked quite a way up the beach and Poppy enjoyed sitting in the castle that we made.Weiterlesen
