Blogs from Noosa, Queensland, Australia, Oceania - page 15

I can't believe I have been in Oz for for roughly 3 months already!! Time is flying by!! I have been very busy with work trying to save some cash - and pay some back. I have been spending most of my evenings working at sierra cafe/bar in Noosa which has turned out to be great fun. The people I work with are lovely and the general chilled out vibe means I don't have to be a great waitress - just as well really!

Lucy had to get a man to come and help her and she got in after me. We kayaked around the river through Noosa and did a loop. The weather was gorgeous and the views were amazing. It was really nice to see Noosa from a completely different angle. The sun was setting over the river as we paddled around for a few hours. We called a man over ... read more
