18th January 1992 Day 182

The Diary
We went to another beach at Noosa. Brilliant surf and we spent hours trying to body surf. The sea was exceptionally salty and after being wiped out umpteen times I'd swallowed most of it. the evening was spent chatting to sports-mad-max from South Africa and Patrick from Switzerland (who gained a crash course in cricket and rugby). 

Live on TV - Scotland 7 England 25. Jolly bad luck on the scots.


2012
I recall trying to find places to watch footy and rugby throughout the whole trip. Back in those days the 5 Nations was on free to air TV. Nowadays it can only be found on Setanta (sometime). 


Anyway - cheer up Scotties, you've won the odd game since then.

17th January 1992 Day 181

The Diary
Oz and I got up very early to catch the bus to Noosa Heads while Beth had a lie-in as she was off to Fraser Island. We arrived at the Jolly Jumbuck Hos-tell and we were put in the house on the hill. We went to the beach and then for a long walk around the National Park. About 10km and it was pretty hot even at 6pm.

2012
Brisbane to Noosa - 141km
