Up early to finish packing and tidy up the house so we can leave it for a couple of weeks. Then it was into a taxi for a trip out to Tullamarine Airport to catch our flight up to the Sunshine Coast. We had a 9:35 flight direct to Maroochydore, flying Business Class courtesy of points I had amassed over several years.
After an uneventual flight, we stepped off the plane into a hot and humid day. I had a hire car booked and, as usually happens, I received an "upgrade"...this time a Hyundai ix35 SUV...somewhat larger than the MX-5 I usually drive.
Coming out of the airport, I took a wrong turn and found myself heading south instead of north. With 3 hours to kill before check-in time and only a 30 minute drive to get there, it didn't really matter so we kept on going. Eventually I found my way out to Yandina and from there we went via Eumundi before turning back to the coast.
We followed the signs to Noosa and arrived there to find the traffic was bedlam...not that I expected anything else at this time of year. We escaped Hastings Street before getting trapped in it and found our way around to the Noosa Central shops for a little lunch.
Still a little early, we then set out for the RACV Noosa Resort where we would be staying. Our room wasn't ready so we lounged around in the foyer until it was. We have a first-floor, one bedroom apartment overlooking the pool. It is quite modern with plenty of space and everything you need for a long stay.

After unpacking and a bit of a rest, we finished the day by going back to Noosa Central for some food supplies.
