Noosa Nationalpark Hike

Noosa is known for its beautiful Nationalpark and the amazing bays and hikes that can be done. A couple of weeks ago my friend and went to the Nationalpark starting from sunshine beach an finishing at main beach!

Sunshine beach has a stair pathway that leads into the National Park, but there is also a smaller trail that you can climb up and that leads to one of the beautiful fairy pools. These fairy pools are hidden during high tide, but low tide shows them just perfectly an people are able to swim in them and take photos. During low tide it is also possible to climb from these pools over a rock to the next little bay, which is a very secretive but good bay for surfing or just relaxing.

After this bay it’ll lead you further to another popular cliff jump and surf sport called hells gates and further on through either bush land shortcuts or a path along the edge with a clear view of the beautiful turquoise water!

After this a very famous surf bay which is also a nude beach called Alexandria Bay or just A- Bay stretches along for about a kilometer and leads further into the Nationalpark to other fairy pools that you can climb down to. Of course there are always lots of tourists taking pictures and jumping into them but if you go either early in the morning or arvo there will be less people.

After these fairy pools several surfing bays, like Granite, Tea Tree and Little Cove build the end part of the National Park to main beach.

My friend and I walked from about 11:30 am until 4 pm so basically the whole day but it is also possible to do it faster if you don’t go swimming that often or don’t take too long to take pictures 🙂

I would definitely recommend a walk or hike through Nationalpark as it is not only a whole day activity but also a very productive way to spend time in the nature, discover Noosa’s hidden beauty and enjoy time in the sun!

Here are some photos:

Boat Day

Noosa is a perfect place to take your boat out and this is exactly what my friends and I spontaneously did the other day.

The only place to go out on the water with a boat is the official boat ramp at the river so we started at the river and drove up the river mouth into the open ocean. I saw Noosa, the beach and the groin from the other side and then we went to the National Park so to the popular surf spot Tea Tree and Granite Bay.

The surf was not very good that day and that is why we could take the boat out in the first place, but there were still a lot of waves trying to catch some of the decent waves….

We tried out the drone too and just swam around in the bays!

Afterwards my friend showed me his little, cute puppies that they recently got…

Melbourne Trip

My term break started great! After I had my friend from Brisbane over, I flew to Melbourne for 4 days to stay with some family friends.

This friend actually did a gap year, too in Hamburg for 2 months and this is how I met her. They stay in a beautiful house in St Kilda and their family consists out of a Mum, dad, two daughters Emily (my friend) and Amy and their cute god Archie. Their mum is originally German but she moved to Australia many years ago, so that she can speak german fluently and Emily and her dad can speak pretty good too.

Melbourne is a beautiful place to live and therefore visit. We decided to walk a lot around town and just find these amazing alleys with graffiti and other street art work on there. It was really amazing and just breathtaking pieces of art.

I was lucky enough to have good weather for some days when I was there so that we could go to the beach and just have a walk around their pretty neighborhood.

One day we decided that we should go into a museum that had over 200 different artist’s works displayed and it was truly amazing! They had all kinds of different rooms, some simple ones with just lights, about 100 different chair ideas, painting and drawings but there were also more complex ones like the flower room full of flowers and a room that had the art work displayed when you were lying down.

After that we went to a popular rooftop bar and had some delicious (non-alcoholic) cocktails and just enjoyed the evening!

Sadly my days in Melbourne were over way too fast and I had to catch a plane back to Noosa 🙁
