Days 116-117: Unwinding In Noosa Heads

9/4/2013

Upon completing our scuba certification, we headed north about two hours to the small beach village of Noosa.  Noosa appeals to retirees, families and yuppies with equal fervor.  We were excited about chilling out on the beach for a few days after our intensive scuba program.

We booked an apartment in the Metzo Resort which was beautiful, located between Noosa Heads and Noosaville.  There were cafes and restaurants within walking distance, although you had to drive to reach the main beach in Noosa Heads.

We arrived later in the evening, when most of the grocery stores had already closed down, so we decided to celebrate our scuba achievements with dinner at a place called Rock Salt.  This spot was highly recommended by both the Metzo staff and Tripadvisor.  The food was wonderful, but pricey (although most restaurants in Australia are pretty expensive).  It is BYOB, as many restaurants are here, and located in a sort of strip mall.  It was a solid meal.  

The next day, we had breakfast (or brekkie as the Aussies say) at a little café on the river, pretty much the only place in town to get breakfast for under $20 apiece.  This also meant that we shared the café with a bunch of retirees, which we enjoyed!  We spent the rest of the day in Noosa Heads checking out the shops, enjoying the beach and watching the sunset.  There is also a national park that runs along the beach here. We were pretty tired so we passed on hiking through the park but it is supposed to be lovely.

The next morning we departed for our next stop, Hervey Bay and Fraser Island.  We thought Noosa was a nice place to relax.  We found it very similar to small upscale beach towns in south Florida, so don’t travel all the way here from America just to visit Noosa.  Save yourself some money and go to Florida.  However, if you are driving the Australian east coast, it makes a nice little stop off.
