Before going to Noosa Waters we stopped off at the huge Lake Weyba. After some difficulty in finding out how to actually get to it (poor map, definitely not poor map reading), we made it to the lakeside where it was really peaceful with only a few boats floating about and a canoeist. It was pretty relaxing and we stayed some time just chatting on the lake shore. Before the burn started we then made our way to Noosa Waters.
It turns out that Noosa Waters is a housing estate and the posh part of town. I’m not sure why we didn’t guess before. The place was immaculate, hardly a leaf out of place. Each house backed onto the waterside and every house had a boat at the end of the garden, just as if having a boat is like having a tv set or a garden shed. It probably explains how some of the restaurants and shops in Noosa get away with being so expensive. Attractive as it was, it wasn’t quite the picnic spot we were hoping for. I suppose it might be slightly odd stopping for lunch on the grass verge outside someone’s front door, so we moved on.
Today we also discovered a 2nd hand bookshop where we thought we may be able to sell four books which we’ve been carting around for ages. Hopefully we’d lighten our load for the USA flight and also make some money for ice-creams. It didn’t quite work out that way as the shop didn’t buy, only traded. As Chris has finally resurfaced after being lost in Homer for quite some time and is eager to start ‘Macroeconomics’ it was up to me to pick an appropriate read. A book by Bill Bryson was the answer. It looks good, however is probably bigger and heavier than the four books combined that we left at the shop. Not all carefully thought out plans come together I suppose.
