Sydney recap: Manly Beach, sunset at Mrs Macquarie Chair, Vivid Sydney preview, walking tour around The Rocks, dinner with GrjApp (who is spending the weekend in Sydney). Lots of walking no but no jet lag issues.
Sydney airport was a zoo at domestic check in this morning. After a quick Virgin America, arrived Noosa at 12:00. Took a walk around the beach area. I will do the sunset cruise later today - hoping the sunshine sticks around. Then dinner. See y’all soon.

Just spent 2 hours walking around the beach boardwalk and Hastings Street. Will set up my Noosa photo gallery in a few minutes.

without disclosing, it appears I will have a brisk morning walk to the bus since who knows what busses will be running. Though a few people can confirm I am infact in Noosa!

At the RACV Noosa Resort is anybody else up for a beer at the bar before heading to Zachary's?
Update: two minute after posting this, four of our group entered the lobby, having just arrived, not for a beer but to check in. We'll hang out here for awhile in any case.

The locations were quite random and worked out by the bus company. Unfortunately this is caused by the roads being closed for the Marathon. (Maybe you could do a part Marathon to the RACV)

Well, after a road trip from home of 1,923 km (1,195 mile for the Flyertalkers from the other side of the world) we have finally arrived at Noosa (via Hervey Bay/Fraser Island)!!! I would MUCH rather fly!
Looking forward to seeing you all tonight!
For those looking for a deal, Zacharey's has happy hour until 6pm:
