After changing the itinery to only stay one night in Brisbane it allowed us to stay an extra day in Noosa. Noosa is a pretty small town but it is home to alot of wealthy people and holiday homes. You can see why, the beach is amazing and the surrounding area is beautiful. As the journey from Brissie is pretty short it gave us even more time here. We stayed at Hulse Lodge YHA which was a really nice old Queensland type house up on the hill above the town. We dropped off our bags and headed down to the beach for a chill out and swim in the sea. This was our last chance to get in without risk of being done by jellyfish as further up the coast they are everywhere..

After a relaxing day by the beach we headed back to the hostel for food, a few beers at the bar and a pool competition which i annoyingly came second in... I was robbed!!!
The next day was something me and Phil were looking forward to for a long time. We were heading to Australia Zoo, home to the legend that was Steve Irwin. The place was awesome and not like a normal zoo as it was really interactive. All the animals had massive enclosures which you could just walk through (except the crocs obviously!). The croc shows were really good and you really get to appreciate how big and powerful they are, pretty scary considering most of them were caught in the areas we were about to visit up the coast!! Other cool animals at the zoo were wombats, koalas, snakes, kangaroos, wallabies, tigers, tazzie devils and cassowaries.

Absolute Legend!
