We arrived in Noosa Heads late in the afternoon without any plans as to where we were going to stay. After calling multiple places we found out that it was apparently high season and that many places were all booked up. Although we did find an apartment available at Dolphins Beach House for only $35 a night! We though why not and decided to book in for 5 nights. Being able to cook in our own kitchen and share a double bed instead of a bunk seemed too good a deal to pass up.
Sunshine beach and the Noosa National park were a short walk down the street from us. The park is home to lots of native wildlife, including Koalas. We didn't get to see much more than a bush turkey and some butterflies on our hike through the forest.
The weather in Noosa wasn't the greatest while we were there. We even ended up staying inside all day when it wouldn't stop raining. I almost finished an entire book that day and went a little bit stir crazy in the process. Lucky for us the morning we chose to go surfing for the first time was a beautiful one. The sun was shining and everything was calm. Unfortunately calm isn't the best for surfing and we were finding it hard to catch waves. Even so, after two hours and lots of encouragement from our instructor Sabrina and I were both standing up. As we're heading further up the coast this was out last chance to try our hand at the sport. Surf beaches become a rarity further north, mostly because of deadly jellyfish and the great Barrier Reef.
Noosa was very relaxing if nothing else, and a nice vacation away from hostel living (as much as I do enjoy it).
