Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, April 20-25

The Dietrichs are now on the Sunshine Coast!
We stayed at Mooloolaba, cute little town with great waterfront esplanade.

The next day was very rainy unfortunately so we decided to bring the girls to an indoor play center.  They had lots of fun. First center we went to since we left Sydney.

 We spent a day at the Australia zoo but we were a bit disappointed. The zoo in general didn’t have anything special to offer and the croc and bird show wasn’t very impressive.
In the evening we drove to a lookout to see the Glasshouse mountains. Beautiful! Captain Cook named them glasshouse mountains as they reminded him of the mountains from his hometown.

Memorable was the next day when we saw a koala while walking along the beautiful coastal track at the Noosa national park. How lucky! It was a nice sunny day and many surfers were out. Seemed like the perfect spot to surf! If you don’t mind being close to the rocks though...

We made it to the Saturday Eumundi market, apparently the biggest market in Australia. Great markets they were, with clothing, craft, gourmet food and fresh farm produce.  Just a pity that it rained! You should have seen the size of the parking!
