One of the main reasons that mum and dad chose to come to Australia at the time of year that they did was so that we could all celebrate their Ruby wedding anniversary together. So, to make it special we decided that a family holiday was in order - a long weekend at the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. So it was with much excitement that we all met up at the airport to head for Noosa.
On the plane Darren and I were lucky enough to have a spare seat next to us......that was of course until I went to the toilet and came back to find a visitor - bringing his biscuit with him!
We were going to be staying at Noosa Shores which is in a World Heritage Listed National Park. It's billed as a 'Wilderness Retreat' and as this would suggest it was a fair way from the nearest town, and a car ferry trip to get out of the Park. We had therefore hired a car so that we would be able to get around and see a bit of Noosa. It was genius as we set off in the 8 seater and Mark played the theme tune to 'The A-Team' at full volume!
After a quick detour to the supermarket to pick up supplies, it was time to see where we were staying............
The holiday home is described as being a 'nature-based' holiday - meet the spider outside the front door that luckily didn't move the whole time we were there.....
Once we'd explored the house it was time to make the most of the late afternoon of our first day. Mum and dad walked to the beautiful beach that was close by, while the rest of us headed to the pool....with heated spa pool!
The pool had a few other visitors too....
After the pool/beach it was time to head back for dinner. The holiday homes have a screened decking area with a bbq, which sounds great in principal - but I think the chefs might have a word to say about the smoke!
And dinner was served!!!
