Travel: Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital! Be sure to check it out if you’re visiting the Australia Zoo. It’s an additional 2$ when you buy your tickets and I almost forgot to add it, since the agent didn’t ask. We spent about 5 minutes walking over, and then visited for about 10-15 minutes (I like to read all the signs!). If you have time, it’s worth checking out. Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital We saw a tiny kangaroo who lost his mom. They made him a sweet flannel…

Travel: Australia Zoo
The Australia Zoo, undoubtably a fantastic zoo. It’s expansive, well maintained, and most importantly, the animals seem very comfortable and happy.

Travel: 3 Days in Noosa
3 days in Noosa! Yes, one of Queensland, Australia’s nicest beach cities. From awesome food to national parks, this place is worth the visit.

Okay, below you’ll find some highlights and then some photos. Let’s check it out. 3 Days in Noosa First, where to stay. We stayed at Chez Noosa and it was…

Travel: Chez Noosa Motel
Chez Noosa Motel in Noosa, Queensland. It’s not a fancy place, and although we walked to home from the beach, it’s nice to have a car. The price is good, the property is clean, and it’s safe. A win-win all around. The one tricky thing that happened while we were visiting, the power in our unit shut off due to a tripped breaker around 2am or 3am on our last night. We woke up super hot! Nothing a shower couldn’t fix, and all our food…

Travel: Tewantin National Park
Tewantin National Park is a paradise for mountain bikers. If you’ve got two wheels, a helmet, and a water bottle, then be sure you ring your bike bell since we’ll be hiking! That’s right, we hiked over 18km of trails in Tewantin National Park. Oh, and be sure you use your map, since not all the trails are clearly marked. We hiked this beautiful shaded place on an extremely hot day – it was 38 degrees outside. That’s slightly over 100. Hot! Luckily about 80%…

Travel: Noosa Farmers’ Market
The Noosa Farmers’ Market is a busy place! You get to park in a field, yet not to worry, it’s in the city. Just be sure you’re hungry when you visit. From juices to donuts, there are a lot of tasty treats! A few classics you can find here, if you’re visiting Australia and are looking for gifts to bring home. Chocolates are a good choice, and so is honey. The best items I found were scarves and towels – some of the softest materials…

Travel: Noosa Heads Beach and Bakery
Noosa Heads Beach and Bakery – the perfect way to spend an afternoon. After hiking in Noosa National Park we checked out the beach, watched the crowds, and then walked Hastings Street and ate bakery snacks. The best part, gluten free carrot cake! Noosa Heads Beach and Bakery Up first, the beach. These shades are so awesome, I just love all the fun colours they come in. Side note, last year we got an umbrella for the deck and the company we got it from…
