Slightly Damaged Goods
So it's been a while since the last post. I've suffered a little bit of damage due to someone else not looking where they were going and am now the proud owner of 5 stitches in my left leg. This kind of slowed my travels a bit as I couldn't go surfing as the leg strap needs to go right where the stitches are...
Instead I've been amusing myself on dry land. I headed to Dreamworld on the Gold Coast and went on a few rides there as well as seeing the tigers and koalas, kangerooos etc they have there. Then I headed to Maroochydore where I nearly stayed long enough to see the world cup triathlon in nearby Mooloolaba but it was a 4km walk and the road was closed so there were no buses and long walks were not a good idea at that time.
Right now I'm in a place called Noosa where Richard Branson, Pat Rafter and several aussi and kiwi celebrities I've never heard of have holiday homes. I'm staying in Halse Lodge which is an old Queenslander building which seems to be a listed building or something similar. Noosa's got a nice park unofficially called the Everglades but actually called Great Sandy National Park that I took a boat ride down to. It's got a lot of lakes and mangrove trees. The weather was fairly bad that day though so the pictures aren't great and the ride was bouncy at times! Luckily the weather was nicer today so I went for a two hour walk in Noosa National Park which is right on the edge of town. Later I grabbed a boogie board and hit the surf. Tomorrow I should get the stiches out and hopefully will be able to start badly surfing again.
