Brisbane

So we have made it to Brisbane and are staying with a very nice couple that Sarah met in New Zealand. Between my last entry and today we have seen some beautiful areas and done some fun activities. From Townsville went to Magnetic Island. The beaches were beautiful and there were some beautiful granite outcrops. After leaving Magnetic Island we wound up in Airlie Beach. This is where the sailing trips for the Whitsundays leave from. We joined a 3 day sailing trip around the islands and saw a white sand beach made up of 99% silica and we got to snorkle part of the reef. The reef is amazing the colors and fish are unreal and so vivid. Next we proceded to the small surfing town of Rainbow Beach. It gets its name from the multi colored sand cliffs near the town. yeaterday we were in Noosa Heads and while walking through the Noosa National Park saw a Koala off to the side of the track about arms reach away. It was sleeping in the tree. Will put some pics up soon. Also saw several Kangaroos from the bus so it was a fast sighting. And now we are here in Brisbane.
