From Noosa to Fraser Island (Kgari) - Episode 27

Join us as we start our long journey up to northern Queensland along the east coast of Australia. In Noosa-heads, we admire the surfers and the beauty of Noosa national park. In Eumundi, we pick up some souvenirs in the traditional market. We survive our first night sleeping in the van, and set-up our equipment for the next month. We explore the area around Rainbow-beach and check the famous sand dune there. Finally we go on a day tour to K'gari (Fraser) Island, a magical place that is preserved with minimal human intervention.

Thanks for your video. Spotting koalas is very difficult. You might have walked directly underneath one and not seen it. If it's any consolation, I've lived in Australia for 70 years and used to do a lot of bushwalking, but I have probably seen fewer than 20 wild koalas in that time. I now live in an area with a small population of koalas and in 10 years I have seen abour 4. They are here, but are very difficult to spot. Have a great trip in Australia!

Thanks Mike, it's great to hear that you did have a few koala encounters! We stretched our necks long on many of our walks in Queensland, but couldn't find any. Finally we spotted one "almost wild" in Magnetic island, the video will be uploaded soon, so stay tuned!
