Sunshine Coast



After the small job I had to do, and since it was Saturday, I moved up the Coast, past the Moreton Peninsula - famous for its Moreton Bay Bugs as digested a few days ago - I first stopped at Bribie Island. A quiet spot, many boats and many fishoes. A bit too quiet to my liking. I then headed to Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast which is a nice sea resort and stopped at Alexandra Headland's Beach just south of Maroochydore. There are long stretches of fine sand and even though it is the weekend, and supposed to be crowded, many places are void of people. Being used to the overcrowded Mediterranean beaches it always surprises me to have all these empty beaches in Australia. But then again, it is true that the waters are not as inviting since they are populated by animals you'd better avoid and the coast is only a mere... 50,000 kilometres long!
