Sunshine Coast



So I got a chance to do some more hiking while here at a range of mountains called the Glasshouse Mountains. As to why they are called that we have no clue. So a few of us headed out and we took a train there, as the mountains are an hour north, only problem is that we initially went an hour south by train on accident and had to return north, making it a two hour ride up. Thus total travel time= 3hrs. haha, but that’s what happens when you don’t have a car and have to rely on public transportation, which I might add that I’ve gotten quite good at. So we hiked up a mountain called Ngungun. Try pronouncing it, it’s really fun to say! So it was a class 4 hike whatever that means. It was really neat and super steep at some parts. To the point where you had to engage your whole body, and by that I mean climbing on all fours! Once we made it to the top it was absolutely beautiful! See for yourself. Hiking is truly a hidden gem! Its totally fun, free and once you reach the top… you feel it!

Another part of the sunshine coast I got to experience was Noosa beach. I went with Kiera, Jill, Natalie, and our English neighbors Kris and Rahul. Beach, beach, drinking, and beach! Haha the water was amazing and super clear! I can see my feet a shoulder deep water-clear! Well I got some good boogie boarding in. Next step is surfing. I defiantly don’t want to come back to jersey with out knowing how to ride a wave.

While here I also got a chance to chat it up with Mr. Noosa, haha. Male pageants? Go Australia ;)
