Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, and Rainbow Beach

This was our favourite parking spot and we never got kicked out!!!
Pretty sweet right?

Not in Canada, although I think they would be jealous of our Moose signs 
Koalas don't look happy 

Logging road detour, if the rental company asks, we were never here

Notice I'm driving on the wrong side

I am the Pipe Cleaner king!!!  I probably got an A+ in 2nd grade art class 

This was Cami's favourite liquorice, but the other flavors were better.  

I think she spit all of this water on me, but i'm still smiling 

Rainbow beach Propellor 

So, not so rainbowy, but different coloured sand 

Going out to get my kite on
Still going out, but you can see the rainbow a bit more 

Shredding hard!!!

Burger King, Bridges, Brissy and Koalas

Going to Surfer's Paradise, I think that Coolangatta and Snapper Rocks was more of a paradise

If it looks like burger king, smells like, it is probably burger king... Yup it was burger king!

Hello little wallaby

Cami with a Koala, they sleep a lot

Going to the Rainforest, and we are going to get attacked by leeches

Not very good camouflage

Currently being attacked en masse by leeches

Rainforest trees

Cami near rainforest trees 

Attack of the leeches!!!

Ahhhhhh... Run!!!

Our dark home for the night, probably one of the scariest spots we stayed.  It may have had something to do with it being really dark from the fog, no one being around and an abandoned car at the last place we stopped that looked like there could have been a dead body in it from a long time ago...

We survived and were back on the road

Cows

Nice little creek

Man Goes Here!  So Cami had a couple of blonde moments on this day.  The first one was a sign that said Man-Goes and Cami read the sign and asked "Man goes where?"  We had a little laugh about that one, but then we saw a sing that said "Man Goes Here" so we stopped and bought some fruit"  Also, Cami saw a sign that said Pine Apples, and said I wonder what pine apples taste like.  I think she may have gotten a contact high in Nimbin!!!
