Noosa, up-market beach town on the east coast. Located 160 km north of Brisbane and 1100 km north of Sydney. Australians would say it’s their version of Cannes in France. You got Peter Lik and Hugo Boss on the beach and award winning restaurants and coffee bars on every corner.
Noosa National park is also worth having a look at. There is five different tracks you can do , ranging from one kilometre to eight kilometres.
250 000 holiday makers are planning their holiday in Noosa every year. Make sure you book accommodation ahead in peak times like around christmas and school holidays, it will be busy. We tried out two backpackers in Noosa. One of them was YHA Halse lodge. Located close to Hasting street and main beach it is the perfect spot. The house is a fully restored house from the 1880′s, listed by the national trust. The prices starts on $30 and they do twin and double rooms. www.halselodge.com.au
Halse Lodge YHA
Other Backpacker place, which is also good, but a bit further away from Noosa heads is Noosa backpackers, Located in Noosaville it will take ten min with the ferry on the river, or 5 min bus ride in to main beach.www.noosabackpackers.com.
Try stand up paddle www.standuppaddle.com.au while you are in Noosa. Great fun, and a good way to have a look at the million dollar mansions placed right on the river.
