im backkkk
and not so happy bout it but eh gotto get back to uni work and civilisation BLABLABLA, that old thing.
SO
photos have none yet but heres the road trip up north rundown
Tuesday: Wild Horse Mountain (just of the Bruce Highway) AWSOME 360 veiw of the landscape just before the sunny coast. very short walk but steep. Point Cartwright, hung out on the rocks and climbed the rock face. saw whales out in the distance rising and falling! Mudjimba Beach-Pincusion island<--great resting spot up on the rocks. Point Arkwright for the night down in a carpark on the edge of the headland just north of Mudjimba. 5:30am sunrise and more whales.
Wednesday: After sunrise, did Mt Coolum. Another amazing 360 veiw of the whole sunny coast. Incredibly high and bit of a treck to reach the summit but if your ever in the area...totally have to go up there. Its the big ayres rock looking thing that looks like a bit leg of ham with a big slice cut out of the side. Sunshine Beach (nude beach), on the headland there tho...founf unbeleivable spot. Climbed up rediculous rock faces (probebely not made for walking on-moments of absolute fear of falling) HOWEVEr-The blow hole there was ahh. Sat on a section where the waves absolutly POUNDED underneath and shot water metres and metres into the air above. The thumping of the water hitting the rock face was so cool. Smooth rock beaches. Utterly secluded areas found due to not following the track. Worth it. Paradise caves were cool, Devils Kitchen (which i think is where the blow hole was) Iron rock, Oaster rocks and Roaring Caves (which may or may not have been the blow hole too). Fishing just near Noosa national park where we spent the night. Rain but met with other travellers from Germany so had a beer and a chat and then sleeeep.
Thursday: completed the other half of the headlands surrounding the national park. Sat on cool little rock carved out by lava. Held on while hanving waves dumped over us. Hells gate was huge and black and rough. Like a huge slice out of the cliff. So high. Sat on the edge and watched dolphins, whales and sting rays swim by. oh and 1 turtle:) Loads of exploring. Swimming on this rocky beach. went out further than i ususally would feel comfortable doing. Fanatastic. Best day of them all. That beach and the warm round rocks and the rock pools and the beautiful waves. Then to cokplete the day, Mt Tinbeerwah. Again with the breataking 360 veiws. Amazing to travel so far and then climb a huge mountain to survey all we conqured. so cool. back to arkwright for the night-beers and chats and Brie and open van overlooking a storm traveling towards the land from the ocean till sleepy.
Friday: Sunrise 2 and packed up and bailed.
Didnt miss not being able to shower as much as i thought i would. the ocean did that for me. amazingly stayed smelling ok! Got tanned tho and burnt in weirdplaces. My legs copped a lot...getting stonger each time. Pushing my muscles furthur each time. THank god for the yoga this year. feeling so fit. Didnt lose any lip ring peices this time, got a double screw on. Didnt get theived either! we were rediculously careful this time. bought pad locks for our stuff. Bit of ups and downs but over all-big thumbs up. never forget some of those moments.
Love road tripping heaps:)
going out tongiht?
