Last day on the Sunshine Coast




Here's Tyler petting a Koala. We actually drove through a Koala Crossing area today. Very cool to see that sign!!
Above that is a Wallaby, actually in the wild!!! A Wallaby is a mini kangaroo, basically. We were walking through a rainforest trail and spotted three of them. Very cool. We also saw holes that are the homes of giant worms, more than 2 feet in length. They come out at night, thankfully!!

Finally, here is the view from our Caloundra room. That is Bribie Island across the water, it is a huge sand dune about 30 miles long. Very cool, we took a boat there and walked over to the beach side.
and off to Tangalooma!!! South Pacific here we come!!! We spent our last day on the Sunshine Coast trying to find a beach with multi-colored sand dunes, but, alas, we failed. So, we ended up on a random beach and Tyler surfed, John attempted to surf, and he also gave Chloe and Guy their first surfing lessons. I sat in the sun and read book 2 of Dean Koontz' Frankenstein. Mom sat with me, even though she does not like to sit in the sun much. I will add a photo of Mom on the beach later tonight.
Hopefully I will post tomorrow from Tangalooma, but definitely by Thursday evening from Sydney! Cheers! Mary
