Mooloolaba

We went back to Mooloolaba again yesterday - really like the feel of this place. It's about a 15 minute drive north of Caloundra, it is also where Steve Irwin's "Whale One" conservation and sight seeing boat is moored.

It's marina and harbour is extremely busy, we saw some berths for sale, they ranged from $70,000 to $300,000 each, then you have to buy a boat to moor in it!!!!!

The Surf Club is a delight - right on the edge of the beach, with interesting "lifeguards" adorning the ceilings of the club.

We managed to get a table overlooking the beach, next time we will order one meal between us, very generous helpings, at quite inexpensive prices - loads of people sharing. The beachfront along the Esplanade is all high rise holiday apartments and hotels, with a huge array of cafes, galleries and boutiques to choose from.

Plenty of places to walk, and sit and enjoy the atmosphere, and each time we were there, parking was free!!

Time to walk off our lunch.

Frank was quite taken with these "beach showers" and their marine influence!

There are plenty of rockpools at the northern end of the beach, very popular with families each time we have been there.
