Our return trip with the teardrop trailer was a simple but satisfying adventure. We followed a basic routine: wake, swim, drive, coffee, sleep. Repeat. Along the way, we enjoyed some of the best scenery, food and coffee that the NSW coast has to offer.

| First up, a swim in the lake. |
A long drive of about 650 km was ahead of us. We left our camp in Canberra early on a warm Tuesday morning, and drove north to the Gungahlin Aquatic Centre to stretch out, relax and get the blood moving before a day of sitting in the car. We always try to get to a fitness centre every few days when travel through a town, this way we can avail ourselves of the showers and at the same time keep actively working on our fitness. The local pool is also a fantastic way to meet locals.

In the realm of travel, meticulous planning is an essential art. It is the compass that guides us through the labyrinth of unexpected twists and turns. A journey to Noosa, a coastal gem nestled on the Northern East Coast of Australia, beckoned us with promises of sandy beaches, delectable cuisine, and serene camping under the starlit sky. With our wits sharpened and spirits high, we embarked on a meticulously orchestrated expedition.

| Under the veil of darkness, we arrived at the Noosa Sea Scouts camping area, stumbling to set up camp in the shadowed depths of the night. |
Nice menu, great seating on the deck combined with excellent service, and reasonable prices. We could have sat there for a long time, but we were on a mission. Further south…more in next post.
