Noosa - Day 2

Sunday, 11 December 2016

In order to avoid long stretches of beach running, this morning I drove around to the main National park entrance. I was expecting it to be quiet at 7am on a Sunday morning so I got quite a shock that the large carpark was already full.  Turns out Sunshine Beach (where I live) is Noosa’s peaceful backwater,  the northern part of town is where all the action is! There were so many people out walking, running, carrying surfboards or fishing rods that the first part felt like the Bondi to Tamarama walk.

By the time I reached Hells Gates (about 4 k in) the crowds had dwindled. Then my route turned inland and it was almost quiet. The trail was delightfully soft underfoot and the vegetation and views were lovely.

Back in Noosa I fluked a park on Hastings Street and went for a swim at the main beach (busy at 8am) before strolling along the shopping precinct and visiting the tourist info centre.
 

After a delicious brunch back at home (scrambled eggs), I did a bit of catching up on my blog then headed out for a walk again, this time exploring the Noosaville area.  There are lots of waterways and an endless supply of accommodation and nice looking cafes.
