Before we arrived in Noosa, we made a stopover in the Great Sandy National Park, with the Rainbow Beach as its main attraction. Helen and Myra from Fraser Island said, that we MUST go there, because there is sand in all colours you might imagine. A word a blow. The main beach, where we made a stop for swimming, of course, is almost only one colour. Anyway, if you go a bit south to the sand dunes, one will see many different colours, white, yellow orange, red, brown and black and all of them in different tints. Just wonderful! At some places one can see the sand as compact sandstone, which you can break and crumble to get the pure colour. Of course we didn’t miss to take some sand with us 🙂 Unfortunately we had (again) a bit bad weather, why the colours didn’t shine as much as it would be on a sunny day, but you’ll see on the pictures. After that we were on the Carlo Sandblow. There, one of the dunes of the rainbow beach goes far inland. We explored the dune and collected a bit more sand, until we walked back to our car in order to drive to Noosa to our next couchsurfers, Cynthia and Alex. Cynthia is originally from Germany and fell in love with Alex during her Work & Travel stay in Australia. After a bit of flip-flopping, she finally decided to move to Australia and they produce and sell organic, vegan coconut yoghurt and are super happy with that. Not to forget, they have a 9 month old sausage dog puppy called peanut, who wanted to play the whole time. This was quite perfect for Tobi! For the next day we planned to explore the national park in Noosa. It’s a walk along the cost with some beautiful views on beaches and cliffs (we were even able to watch some playing turtles in the water). In the afternoon we made a walk along the beach and visited the city of Noosa. The next day we had to get up very very early, because we had to return the car at 9am in Brisbane which was a 2.5 hour drive away.
