25.-27.12.
For boxing week, we behaved like good Aussies and rushed to the beach - this time to Caloundra on the southern tip of Sunshine Coast.
 |
| Essentials packed by a 2 year old. |
 |
| Santa must've been hot! |
First things first: jumping!
Everything was closed on Christmas day, including the hotel restaurant. Luckily we had one pack of noodles and some fruit to share at dinner time.
Boxing Day morning: Happy Valley playground on the beach!
 |
| Toes to bar. |
 |
| A pirate ship! |
The strait between coast and Bribie Island is narrow and can have a very strong current depending on the tide.
 |
| The Pacific. |
 |
| Glasshouse Mountains |
Our hotel had a cool waterpark!
 |
| Two seals. |
 |
| Tan. |
During nap time we tried to be as efficient as possible:
 |
| Minigolf! |
 |
| Hole-in-one! |
 |
| Game room! |
 |
| Beach side walk! |
 |
| Low tide. |
In the afternoon we did what's right on Boxing Day: we had a Christmas swim at Kings Beach. We had never seen this much people on a beach in Queensland!
Next morning we tried another beach: Bulcock Beach. In the ocean we met a Finnish grandma who had floated here already in 1989. The night before we met a vegan dog called Vegemite.
 |
| Jellyfish. |
Thank you Sunshine Coast!!
