What we like about Noosa Heads

We have frequently taken a day trip from Brisbane to Noosa (1 1/2 hours drive). Our sons loved surfing in the big waves and we enjoyed the shopping, restaurants, swimming and walking in the Noosa National Park.

Often when we stayed at Mooloolaba on a weeks' holiday, we would take the half hour drive to Noosa to spend a day there.

Occasionally, my wife and I have escaped to Noosa for a quiet break when our sons were staying with their cousins at another beach.
