Sunshine Coast

Hope everyone had a happy easter and indulged in lots of chocolate. We spent the Easter break having fun with family and friends on the North Coast. Kate lost her very first tooth on Good Friday, so we also had a visit from the tooth fairy which was very exciting (Kate was very disappointed when the tooth fairy did not leave her $50 after she spent the time thoroughly scrubbing her tooth before bed).

 At the moment we are still searching for the sun on the Queensland sunshine coast.  We have also discovered just how wet it has been here. We tried a little off-road exploring only to find some very sticky mud, so we tested out the winch and yes it does pull the troopy and the camper out of a bog hole really well.

Our first night we set the camper up was at the base of the scenic glasshouse mountains, what a breathtaking view this would be to wake to every morning.



We spent a day at Australia Zoo (http://www.australiazoo.com.au/), which was absolutely brilliant. The girls loved the hands on animal experiences. Darrin loved the bird shows; they are amazing creatures and so much time must go into training these birds for the shows. My favourite part was patting the koalas, they are so soft and gorgeous animals to watch. The Irwin family are amazing, with their dedication and passion for wildlife and conservation of wildlife.

 At the moment we are in Noosa. We haven't seen our good friends the Pajalic's for a few weeks now so we thought we would stay with them while they are on holidays. We have spent the day kicking back around the pool and spa, sipping beer and wine and soaking up the balmy 20 odd degrees weather.
Noosa is a very busy place, beaches are packed and carparks are full. So hanging out with friends around the pool was a great way to experience Noosa.
