Sunshine Coast & Noosa




Heaven can be found driving along an Australian motorway listening to music in a cheap black station wagon………Yep another road trip (love road trips). This time to the Sunshine Coast to show Marty where I had holidayed with my good friend Julie a year & a half ago.

First stop Mooloolaba to my favorite shop full of wonderful things imported from Asia & India, especially the Jewelery! I had to leave with at least one treasure (so hard to pick only one!!!)
I decided on a lovely teak bangle with sliver & onyx on the outside of it.

With that mammoth task done we took a short stroll up the road for a yummy Jamaican Blue coffee. Then to the ‘Loo with a View’ before jumping back in the car for a short drive down the road to Maroochydore showing Marty the apartments that I had stayed in when holidaying with Julie.

Noosa was our next stop. A lovely tourist destination. We only drove through the shopping center as Marty was all shopped out, (after stopping at my favorite shop in Moolooaba). And of course you cannot leave without a visit to the lovely beach at Noosa.
By this time our ‘heavenly black car’ was in need of gas! Noosa’s Servo’s (Aussie word for Petrol; Station) are all hidden!!! What a mission to find one? With our fuel light ‘glowing’ we eventually found a ‘Servo’ – filled our petrol tank to the brim, complained to the lovely lady attendant about hidden Servo’s and went on our merry way in search of the Noosa Lookout. After driving around in circles & consulting the map we found one – (Not sure if it’s the one we were looking for?), took photos & headed off in the direction of home.
