The hostel I stayed at, Noosa Backpackers, was also the bomb!! The rooms are modern and the people are extremely nice. I met this really cool Canadian guy that is traveling from the north to south. He did the Fraser Island and the Whitsundays already and gave me some excellent suggestions on tour bookings. We did a hike in the Noosa National Park and watched the sunset by the beach.
On my second day in Noosa, I went to see the Australian Zoo, or Steve Irwin’s crocodile park. I saw not only loads of crocs, but also some other really interesting animals that are unique to Australia – wombats, dingos, koalas, kangaroos, venomous snakes, etc. I cooked some kangaroo steak for dinner and it was really nice. The meat is really lean and gamy and tastes a lot like beef.
I also met this really cool German guy that stayed in my room. We went surfing the day before I left and I was able to catch a few more waves this time. I think by the end of the day, I was able to stand up pretty well when there is a good wave. I would love to stay for longer but I had to leave Noosa for my Fraser Island trip on Thursday.
