Campervan Leg 4 - Brisbane to Hervey Bay

Our route from Brisbane to Noosa took us down the Steve Irwin Highway, and past the glass house mountains, providing views very reminiscent of our journeys in parts of Laos and Vietnam (though luckily with better driving).

In Noosa we managed to stay in the car park of a hostel, entitling us to use of all of their facilities for only $20 a night. During our first day there we went for a walk along the sea front. The path showed more signs of destruction from the flooding in January. On the walk we spotted the front legs of some sort of tarantula in a hole in the ground. This led to us hunting them for about an hour, unfortunately not finding one to get a picture of. 

We stayed in Noosa for quite a bit longer than we had planned thanks to the price of the hostel parking being so much cheaper than everywhere else we had been. On our last night there we went out again and the next morning I was still feeling very drunk. Unfortunately I had also volunteered to drive us to Hervey Bay, this led to a driver that was finding life far too much fun and us flying over a mini round-a-bout that I swear appeared from nowhere.

Luckily we made it to Hervey Bay without further incident (or if there were further incidents I was too drunk to remember them). Whilst there me and Pete also discovered what is possibly the greatest board game ever created. Unfortunately as it is in Australia it costs a stupid amount and so had to stay in the shop (we did find Jess a diablo though, something I expect she is amazing at by now...).
