Hii! I keep wanting to start these blogs with "g'day" but I can't quite bring myself to do it! Okay so now we're in a lovely little place called Rainbow Beach. there's not a lot to do here except go to the beach and once again embrace the east coast culture and spend the day on the beach! So that's what we've been doing :) Before we were here we were staying in a place called Noosa which again is another east coast surfing town so not much to report from our visit there apart from sunbathing on the beach! no surfing though because the waves were definitely not for the beginners!

And saved us a nice $100+ since we didn't need to go to Phillip Island to see them! We also went to the Melbourne Museum which was obviously really fun :) and spent a lazy sunny afternoon lounging in deck chairs eating our packed lunches in Federation Square and watching Ratatouille on ... read more
