Reflections

Today marks 2 years that we have lived in Australia! Reflecting back, it really has been an amazing experience so far. We got to move to another country on the other side of the world, and set up a life from scratch. We had nowhere to live, no jobs, no bank accounts, no phones, and didn’t know anybody – but with a lot of support from each other (and our cat Colby), we did it all, and met some really great friends along the way. It’s crazy to think that the life we made here is coming to an end, but we are looking forward to seeing everyone back home soon!
It was a whirlwind of a day because we actually had a deadline to be at Rainbow beach by 2pm for our Fraser Island tour briefing. We did a 30 minute run on the beach at Coolum before heading up the Sunshine Coast to Sunshine beach – where we found what we were looking for – THE SUN!!! We didn’t stay long and just went on a short walk before driving to Noosa Heads. This was a great area! We walked along Hastings Street and grabbed some frozen yogurt – celebratory treat because the sun was back after a full week of being MIA. Noosa National Park is known for being able to see koalas in the wild, so we went on a few walks to try and spot some, but no luck. There was a spotting in the same area we were looking, but the day before. After spending some time in Noosa, we headed for Rainbow beach. After our briefing, we enjoyed some ZZZZ’s on the beach and got packed up for our Fraser Island Tour that starts tomorrow!!!
