Birds, Koalas, Dolphins, Surfing and more - Noosa National Park, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia

Hi all

As you know I really like Noosa National Park at Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. I've collated some of my pics of the area from the last 8 months, all into one photo gallery.  Here are some pics of this marvellous area:

When I exited the park & arrived at main beach, there was not a single person on the beach or in the water on this very cool, overcast day. Eventually this brave lady swam along.
