Noosa – Coolum Beach

Today’s the day we leave. Steve wasn’t feeling well. Thinks it was the fact that he was left to finish off the glass and a half of left over wine… He also had a tooth ache. Got him off to the dentist and managed to get a same day appointment. Apparently one of his amalgam filings had expanded (which apparently they do) and caused the corner of the tooth to crack off.

There is a new machine that this dentist actually had that did a full scan of the outside of a tooth, and reconstructed a new ceramic bit to replace the broken bit and its just glued in. Amazing stuff! $950 later he was out in just under an hour with a new tooth!

We then went back home to repack the van and make tracks. Left around 6pm, much to Dad’s bemusement! Only got 25kms down the road and camped at a lovely quiet spot where the Coolum Kite Festival was held.
