Tuesday 9th January – the return to Queensland



With a heavy heart, it was time to leave Bryon again, not knowing if or when I would ever return.  We headed north, back past Brisbane, gaining our hour back. The surf injuries to my knees have scabbed up nicely.  I shall wear them like a badge of honour!

With a tour to Fraser island booked for very early tomorrow, our aim today was to get as close to our pick-up point as possible.  But it would have been remiss to just make a bee-line there ignoring everything else, so we took a detour to see some of the Glasshouse Mountains.  These were named by Lieutenant James Cook (him again?!) who thought the shape of the mountains resembled the glass furnaces of his hometown in Yorkshire. Here’s a panoramic view, see if you agree.

I reckon the Police have it quite easy here...
Onwards, into Noosa where we found the closest site to the jetty where we need to be at 615am in the morning, but it was fully booked!  As a last resort, they offered us a parking spot for tonight, literally a tarmacked space, for $30 and we could then move onto an unpowered site tomorrow.  Sold, this was too convenient, so that’ll do for us.  Maybe we should be doing more booking ahead what with it being summer holidays here….!

We wandered around Noosa town and the beach before heading to our parking space to make dinner and get set up for an early night.  I took a wander to capture the sunset.  There were parrots everywhere.
