Bargara – Noosa

Awake early again, and Delwyne was in worse shape than us, so we left her in peace to sleep it off, and headed to the beach for breaky. Came back around 11am and Delwyne was looking pretty sad for herself. So we said our goodbyes and told her to go back to bed and we started heading back to Noosa.

We went to Elliot Heads on Delwyne’s advice and enjoyed it immensely. Its got gorgeous white sandy beaches and a lovely turquoise watered entrance to the inlet. Very popular on Sunday morning. We were interested to see the whole community was up in arms about all the surrounding farmland (mostly sugarcane) had development notices out the front of their properties, with the owner or owners wishing to convert it all to a new housing development. With only one small beachfront fish and chip shop cum deli to its name, you could see the Woolworthisation would not long follow. The locals were obviously very upset.

We took the highway back through Childers and Maryborough and took the same route back as if heading to Tin Can Bay. We then took the Permona turn off via Wolvi and Kin Kin. It was just lovely rolling green hills filled with little farms, lots of bush and picturesque vistas at every turn. A thoroughly recommended route should anyone be looking for a quiet back road to enjoy. Apart from about 5kms of unsealed road, it was pure bliss. We could have gone in via Boreen Point and into the back of Tewantin, but being unfamiliar with the area we decided we wouldn’t risk the wrong turn, so headed into Cooroy and the back to Tewantin.

Mum and Dad were happy to have Midget and us back (I think it was in that order). They really missed her and I think us! :-) So we went to the Tewantin RSL for dinner to celebrate our return.
