We went for a drive up to the ‘Sunshine Coast’ today. We had perfect weather - 32 degrees sunny, with a bit of cloud. It takes about 1 hour to get there (on the ‘Bruce Highway!) and its quite a pleasant drive. We went to a town called Mooloolaba as this was recommended as a great place to go to the beach. And it was – Abi had such a great time today playing in the sand, playing in the sea and jumping over the waves. She loves to swim and will simply lie down on her tummy in the shallows in the water – smiling and laughing with absolute delight. I am sure we will be back soon, there are loads of little shops and cafes/restaurants along the beach front – which we didn’t even get a chance to explore. We drove a bit further up the coast to Maroochydore and also spent some time driving around the Mooloolaba marina – stunning houses many with their own pontoons with massive boats... dream on! On the way back home we drove along the Steve Irwin tourist route and took a detour to the Glass House Mountains – which had beautiful views. While we were up there we saw our first wallaby – Abi was amazed – she loves looking at all the wildlife. There are facilities to have a BBQ up there too – looked like a good idea for another day. I’m sorry to say that today we only have a picture of the beach at Mooloolaba because we ran out of camera battery! Next time.
