Couldn't agree more about Noosa. I was there in September for the third time, though I stayed with friends. Great beaches, a nice national park with koalas (you have to look really hard, but they're out there), and there's actually an airport just a few minutes away (Maroochydore) that Ansett and Qantas fly into. I flew in on Qantas last time and we were the only commercial flight on the ground.
