Pushing through for Summertime

My last day in Noosa! I'm excited about seeing the rest of Australia between here and Cairns albeit at breakneck Speed! The main place I'm stopping is Airlie Beach on Saturday, where all the sailing trips around the Whitsunday Islands leave from. Then it's quickly up to Cairns, only stopping overnight once. It's been cloudy and fairly cool here for the last few days, so hopefully as I get further north I'll get at least a bit more Australian sun! This part of Oz isn't having a good winter, it's usually much warmer - although the average temperature while I've been here has been around 23 degrees, which feels pretty warm to me! The locals are wishing it would hurry up and get hot! So I'm rushing up to make the most of the Oz winter before I get back to the end of the British summer, although goiong by posts I'm reading on facebook it's not too warm over there at the moment anyway! Come on summer!!
I've been pottering around here, there's actually not much to do except go to the beach, especially as there are no waves to surf on at the moment!

I did go on a day trip to Fraser Island, which is the world's largest sand island. There are no slealed roads on the island at all, so it was all 4 wheel driving on bumpy sand tracks through the rainforests and along the beach! We visited Lake Mackensie, which is filled only by rainwater and it's beautifully clear. The water was pretty cold - colder than the sea so I only had a quick swim! We were also taken on a walk along a creek where lots of rare indiginous plants grow.

I've had a brilliant 5 weeks in Noosa at Halse Lodge, it's been great having something to do with my time and having a great bunch of people to live and work with! However, I am really excited about coming home and seeing everyone! My feet are getting itchy for England! Can't wait to see you all soon xxxx
