The mountain scenery of Queensland is impressive and varied, and we took a slight detour around the Glass House Mountains on our way up to the Sunshine Coast. We'd spent happy days on several glorious beaches with the family, and couldn't resist hiring a car to head further north and see more of them.
We booked into a motel at the lovely resort of Noosa, and parked up by the entrance to the coastal path of the national park. This little fella, our first koala sighting, was sleeping soundly, seemingly unaware of all the trippers passing by within inches of his tree. 
Just one of the gorgeous little bays bordering Noosa Head national park.
Although we were desperate for our breakfast, following an early morning walk, we sat here transfixed for an hour watching humpback whales spouting and breaching, clearly full of the joys of spring. Not to be outdone, a school of dolphins appeared for their playtime in the surf. You won't see whales or dolphins on our photos, because we've learned it's more fun to watch than to try and capture them on photos. 
A pelican serenely floating down the Noosa River as we skimmed by in our small motor boat, or 'tinnie' as they are known locally.
Arrived back at the harbour just as a mega storm was about to break.
