Life on The Sunshine Coast

JT and I have now been back in Coolum for five very active weeks with our days alternating between golf and gym with a recovery day every seventh. Recovery day is our day to give the apartment a thorough clean and to catch up with neglected chores.We were delighted to have Rose and Frank Fillary join us for a week and we share some of our activities below.

We made a quick trip to Noosa's North Shore, crossing by car ferry. It was a beautiful day, much enjoyed by the local Pelicans.

We went from the North Shore to Noosa Heads (the Spit) and then on to Lake Weyba.

We discovered this fantastic tree right on the Lake's edge.

Rose, easily the most athletic of us, couldn't help herself and had to climb. Below is the view across the lake towards Peregian and Marcus Beach back areas.

Australia Zoo is just 30 minutes down the road from Coolum and we spent a very pleasant day viewing the animal life there. Although Snakes, Dingos and the bird life were fascinating the Tasmanian Devils were a highlight. For JT the Elephants were a hit, as were the Tiger cubs.

Although the area around Noosa and Coolum has a good Koala population you just never see them; so it was good to get up close at Australian Zoo.
We managed a couple of rounds of golf during Rose and Frank's stay and they joined us on one round to enjoy the Coolum Kangaroos and the wonderful variety of birds on the course.

Frank was designated driver for the round.
