Sunshine Coast pt1

The plan was to go diving again possibly Vanuatu however the wrist situation put a stop to that one so we thought about a lazy beach holiday in Fiji which became too expensive as the Island resort we wanted was full, so we turned to the sunshine coast just north of Brisbane, we landed in Brissie airport at 0900 it was already 19 degrees (nice) and we spent the day sightseeing and then in the pool of the hotel, the follwoing day we walked the southbank with the lagoon and the market so many people using such a brilliant free facility, there were families having parties with the undercover seating and BBQ areas decked out with balloons.
On our way up the coast we visited the Glassmountains an group of pointy hills the remnants of extinct volcanoes, quite amazing really.
That evening we stayed in 'Aussie Bush Cabins' in Longthorne which was an interesting experince the cabins were nice and very isolated, the dust on the road ways showed the prints of a few animals that had crawled their way through the bush.
We got up relatively early to go to Crikey! Australia Zoo, which was fun we managed to stroke a very large Wombat (who was being led round the zoo on a leash) and a Koala who probably didnt even know what was going on as he was fast asleep! the Crocodile and bird shows were good in the Crocoseum the Crocmen's singing and dancing entertained the tiddlers in the audience until they bought out the crocs for the main show.
