Mooloolaba

We arrived at the Sunshine Coast after a somewhat sad good bye at Heidi's farm sanctuary.  We were sad to leave such a beautiful place with loving animals and wonderful people ( they liked the boys so much that they invited us to stay an extra night).  So we did! It's nice not have to be tied down to a set schedule:-).

We held a koala!!! We visited the currumbian zoo and were able to touch and hold many native Australian animals.  The boys were very excited to hold an alligator, a python, a python and a koala.  We watched a sheep shearing show which we couldn't decide if it was cruelty or not.  The koala was our most exciting part.  These little creatures are soft and cuddly.  It was like holding a new born.  They just cling right to you and would kiss your chin.  They were ever so sweet.  We didn't want to leave them.

We drove to Mooloolaba.  We giggle ever time we say that name.  We are at a beach resort that has a bit of a myrtle beach vibe (minus the touristy shops).  We spent two days at the beach taking it easy.  Just a 15 minute walk from us is Alexandria headlands where we were suppose to rent surfboards for the four days but there are some rips in the water there that made the boys a bit nervous so decided to stick to boogie boarding at our beach.  It's a perfect place to unwind.  We are keeping entertained by counting water dragons and blue lizards.

We were suppose to leave Mooloolaba tomorrow to head to Noosa but we decided to extend our stay here until Wednesday.  We have a few sights left to see here ( the Ginger house, the markets, waterfalls and hikes).  It is not quite surfers haven as Byron Bay was, but it is a beautiful sight.

In a few days we will be heading to rainbow beach where we will be touring Fraser Island.  We heard the dingos run ramped there!
