We left Rainbow Beach in the afternoon the day we came back from Fraser, heading further down the backpackerroad to Noosa.

It is actually quite a nice holiday village, so far the first I would compare to Port Douglas. There are nice upper class resorts, lots of nice shops, restaurants and bars.
We stayed at Dolphins - a really laid back Backpaker near the beach, I can recommed it.

There is a lot to do in Noosa. We went to the sunshine beach the arriving evening and had a beautiful sunset. The next day we explored the little National Park, went along the coastline and to other beaches. The last times we always were pretty lucky, saw a platypus where they are supposed to be seen, saw dingos on Fraser - this time no koala :((

The third day we, Karine, Katja, Pierre and me, hired a car and drove to the National Park (Great Sandy). Again sand sand sand and a phanomenal view from Double Point!!
