Our next stop was Hervey Bay with it's lovely beaches and views across to Fraser Island. We stayed right on the waterfront at Urangan and spent a few days swimming, walking, bike riding and eating seafood from the local fish market and the Boat Club across the road. Unfortunately a day trip to Fraser Island was a bit too pricey so we'll have to put it on the To Do list. We heard the Wards might be doing a trip up here next year..... Next camping stop was beautiful Rainbow Beach. The walls of colourful sand were amazing and we had two perfect sunny days before it started raining again. Sean and Stephany only had one rainy day on their 2006 around Australia adventure and we have hundreds (it seems)! On November 20 we drove south through huge pine plantations and on to very nice big roads to the Sunshine Coast (where there was no sunshine to be seen..) Ashleigh and Hannah were very excited as it was time to go to Australia Zoo!!! Poppy went to a kennel while we had a fabulous day at "Bindi's Zoo". There was so much to see and we were absolutely exhausted at the end of the day. Our favourites things were: feeding the elephants because it tickled your hand (Hannah), watching the tigers play with the keepers in the swimming pool (Ashleigh), the wombats (Simon) and the Jabirus (Sam). We stayed at Landsborough one night and then moved to Mooloolabah where we enjoyed the surf beach and the Thai and Indian restaurants!
Hervey bay is beautiful through your pictures. You can visit also the property sunshine coast. It's also nice like hervey bay.
