Noosa National Park

 One morning we had a walk along the path from the National Park office to Dolphin Point and yes following Adventure Lab questions 😀 sadly we didn't see any koalas or dolphins or whales in the distance, but we enjoyed the walk and the sea views and the sunshine.


I didn't realise when I took the photo but see now there is a defibrillator front and centre, great idea as the walk was up and down and I imagine very hot in the summer months.


Hard to see, but the area behind the rock is known as the Boiling Pot, the waves come in to the left and fill the pot and it does resemble a boiling pot.



No dolphins we could see on this day.

On the way home we stopped and got lunch at Perigian Beach and then had a walk along the beach
Great firm sand for walking on 😎
Coolum in the distance
Happy stitching.

Out and about some more

Sue and I went for a walk in the morning up Mt Emu here in Peregian Springs..I think I finally have the name of the suburb here correct!! There was a lot of walking up but the view from the top was well worth it
You can see from Coolum on the right to Noosa Heads on the left, a beautiful expanse of coast line. After we headed down we wen to a local cafe for a refreshing cuppa.
In the afternoon we went for a drive to Noosa Heads
We stopped at a lookout...beautiful view over the bush to the town and river and sea on the right.


Then we headed off on a walk along the coast path around the Heads, the beaches were crowded until we got a little way from town, there were still lots of surfers and swimmers.




At one rocky beach we saw hundreds of these rock stacks, I know they have a name, Donna and I saw them in Alaska, but I can't think of it at present. Mr Google tells me it is Inukshuk, but their structure is different to these. The Buddhists use stacks as a form of prayer.
I stopped for a while to watch the waves surge in through the rocks, the tide was pretty high but I wondered of these stack stay or if the waves wash them away.
I think we walked about 5 km yesterday, lots of up and down along the coast, so I slept well last night. 😊
I have done a little stitching but not a lot, maybe a little more will be done today.
I am off to start the day.
