AUSTRALIA - HOLIDAY/RECCE TOUR - DAY 41 - NOV 6TH - NOOSA NATIONAL PARK

NOOSA NATIONAL PARK

No early morning walk today, we got up at 7am and got ready for our morning excursion to Noosa Heads National Park, it wasn't a birding trip just a stroll to enjoy the scenery.

despite seeing this sign on several occasions we never saw a Koala chasing a Kangeroo across the road 

We started the walk at 9am and finished at 12:30 the track took us all around Noosa Heads with some lovely scenery and fantastic colours, we saw some Dolphins out in the bay. The return loop took us through the forest where a few birdies appeared, they were mainly Lewin's and Brown Honeyeaters, but we had excellent views of White-browed Scrubwren and a very melodic Grey Shrike-Thrush. There was no sign of the local Koala Bears and we never saw a Wallaby of any description.

 

After eating our picnic lunch we found a quiet spot on one of the beautiful beaches and spent rhe rest of the afternoon reading, sleeping and enjoying the local ice-cream.........it was a beautiful day with wall to wall sunshine and temperatures of around 27C.

A thunderstorm developed around 5pm and the sky opened up throughout the night, it's really good of the these Auzzies to arrange for it to rain only at night!!
