We woke up to a rainy morning!! Well I thought that our sightseeing day with Angela and David was gone down the drain……… Olivia and Dylan were ready for school on time but of course (and I remember this very well with my own kids at that time) just before leaving forms and signatures had to be completed…….
Once Angela was back from her school run, we decided unanimously that we would take a short drive up to Montville, a pretty little village further up in the hills and also drive around to get a view of the Glass Mountains – but all we saw was rain and low hanging clouds! I did manage to take just two pictures at the Glass Mountains look out point – one of the picture as the view should be and the other of the actual view, all blurry and wet!!
Well we went for a coffee break at the Glasshouse Mountains information centre – a really great centre with walkways both high above the ground and into the rain forest……….. but unfortunately, it was too wet to do the walkabout. But we enjoyed our coffee and conversations!
After our wet sightseeing trip which also took in the coastline, we went back to Angela and David’s place for lunch and then we were ready to leave and continue our trip in the rain. We were heading to Noosa Head – only an hour’s drive away along the David Low Coast Road. Thanks Angela and David for having us over and enjoying your company!
On our way we stopped at Coolum Point and just watched the rough waves – normally in season time, whales can be seen off this point when they are on their migration from the arctic and back.
Finally we arrived at Noosa Heads – still raining! After getting some info at the Info centre and walking on the beach we made our way to Noosaville where we set up camp for the night. We had enough dry time to walk around and also have a fish and chips meal at the little town further down from our campsite which is situated on the estuary of the Noosa River. We’ll be off early tomorrow towards Hervey Bay and keeping our fingers crossed that we will have better weather!!
