Rainforest trecking

---

So today up and out early again, this Ozzie air is doing something to me, I went for a walk in the Noosa National Park which is literally 5 mins walk away. I went along the coast line then I crossed into the rainforrest, it was lovely just walking along only hearing the bird maiking their noises and my own foot steps, I'm becoming quite the vegitation spotter !!! There are some really different trees that look lovely..... I know, me a tree lover, what ever next !!!! actually it was just like doing a hash, except there was no sweetie stop and no fines at the end !!!!

I saw my first wild Koala asleep in a tree !!! lots of birds that are all around, they look like black chickens with red heads (I must find out what theyre called).

Half way around my sandals started to rub my ankle as it was very dusty and dirty - I didnt have a plaster on me, so whts a girl to do ??? I thought what would Steve Irwin do ??? and then it came to me ...... find a nice smooth juicy leave and put it over the sore spot and hold it in place with my sandal. Sorted !!!! hey Joanne all those wastching Ray Mears programmes certainly paid off !!!!

So the walk took ab about 2 hours in very sticky conditions so I was a tad moist when I got back !!!! so quick trip to the supermarket for milk and tea bags and then off to the beach for a cool down, quick dip in the ocean and I was exhausted !!! a nap was in order ! my first afternoon nap of the trip so not bad.

Shower and time for tea, I ate in the hostel cafe this evening and had a juicy steak and salad, mmmmmmm then I was joined by the most lovely lad called Phil (21 yr) who lives near Pymouth and his Ozzie buddy Mike (50 ish) and we had a real scream, then a fella I met in Byron bay came over and jopined us - Pete a theatre nurse from Leeds. Later I got taling to this young lad from the USA and he was a serios surfer dude and soooo mellow. He reminded me of someone but I couldnt think who, then it came to me - the dad turtle in Finding Nemo !!!! honest a god he was just like him !!!

so off to Hervey bay int mornin - only a 3and half hour bus ride - so easy peazy

love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
