For our "last" trip that we were meant to take here in Australia we went to Noosa, a gorgeous resort town favoured by Melbournians. It came highly recommended and all of us looked forward to a week relaxing on the beach, enjoying the warm weather, and playing in the water.
What we got instead was rain, rain, and more rain. Loads of rain. Even heaps of rain. It didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves though. We got plenty of use of the jacuzzi on the deck of our apartment which was fully covered.
The kids each got a souvenir of our trip as well, raincoats. They turned out to be very handy and were used almost continuously.
We even went on a bush walk through the rain forest behind our place. We saw this tree that looks like it has a koala climbing on it.
More rain.
Further along our walk, we found a real Queensland Koala, which is smaller in size and has thinner fur than the Koalas found in Victoria.
With all of the rain we were able to see gorgeous flowers. The top flower is actually leaves.
We also saw some beautiful birds.
The highlight of the trip for some of us was finding the Big Pineapple. The rain wasn't ideal for the pictures, but it sure made the area green and lush.
A bonus highlight was finding the Big Cow! Big Bonus! Huge!

So cool. I wouldn't have minded the rain if I had gotten one of those cute rain coats. You guys are good sports and I love the huge pineapple and cow. What's up with that anyway?
Love the swimsuit and the rain coats. You really know how to make lemonade Jenny! Glad you are having so much fun!
Your kids are so cute.. Your pictures are so beautiful. I am jealous of your time down under.
I wonder, did the big cow made you feel like you were back home in Texas??
