18th october 2007 Noosa Beach.

Ok got up today, had a look what there is to do around here, There doesn't seem to be alot here to do. the hostel hires out kayaks which i think we will do today. check out how far the beach is, but you need to get a bus and walk for a while. its a little to far to be honest.

So hired some kayaks out with Zara, and went for a little kayak straight over the river, we located a no idea what you call it, a little stream that goes into the island, and is only big enough for a kayak, i.e no boats, we have been told there should be some string rays and wild life around here. Actually on the way down the stream thingy we found a big bird, looked like a pelican, but it had a black beak, so i have no idea what it was. sorry this isn't working out to well so far is it i don't know the name of anything so far. well i know my dad should understand all these thingys and what-you-call-it's !!! :)

Anyway found this bird that was eating, so we stayed still for about 5-10mins and watched that eating, it was quite nice, nice and peaceful, no body around and no noise. tranquil if you like.

anyway once that bird had flown off, we continued on down the stream, we both thought that this would lead somewhere and but found out it goes to a dead end, and it wasn't really big enough to turn the kayak around in. some how we managed it.
and then on the way back we actually , located some string rays, which was nice. i think we found around 9-10 string rays. just floating along on the bottom of the stream thingy.

got out back to the river, kayak'd around for a while. got tired so headed back to the hostel.

Walk around again, this time went down to the proper town part, OMG this looks posh, lots of toffs walking around. oh well. We went down to the nation park which we did a walking trail round. didn't see anything special. well saying that i found 2 people that i did whitsundays with that i also saw on fraiser, nice to see them again. kevin and barbara.

got back to the hostel it was dark by then. chilled out in the bar area and had a laugh with a few people. played some table tennis, well i tried. and yes you know me and fell right over and cut my knee open, apparently as usual it was rather funny or so jason tells me. anyway a few more drinks and laughs later. decided it was time for bed. Got back into my bedroom. with another drink and two women decided to walk in and join us.

all got chatting and jason and i said we would go out with them to a club or something. yes they were both fit.
so got changed ready and went back to there room, so sara could finish her goon (sorry goon isn't actually wine it is fish eggs and has no grapes or anything in it, don't ask any more as i dont know anymore, but it gets you pissed)

so got back to sara's room, sat there for a while with a few more people, having a laugh, then realised we were not going out anywhere, so sodded off back to my room as they were a bit boring. and yes i wasn't gonna get anywhere with a room full of people.

Ian,

you did not say what time you got up, it must be early as you went to bed at 9pm.....

kayaks down the Creek you fool not a what do you call it!!!!

You may want to buy a book on Bird Spotting as this could help in knowing what you are looking at

watch out for sting rays you know what they did to the Croc hunter, Bless him,

cut Knee I bet it was funny seeing the Shell Fall over and moan about his Knee

still no action a, glad to see you are still trying, maybe the Bird spotting book will help on that front also

anyway keep having a good time
