Sunshine Coast Australia

Upon arriving in Brisbane, we picked up our Jucy Campa van and headed up North to the Sunshine Coast. We found a secluded beach parking lot, where we cooked Alfredo pasta and fell alseep. We woke early (around 5am) to watch the sunrise and jumped into the ocean with our shampoo to clean. The water was much warmer than the air and a few others were out surfing. To decide where to spend our next night, we looked over brochures and saw beaches with clear blue water similar to something you would see in the Caribbean. These beaches were only about another hour North so we headed that way. The drive there was awesome because it was through green hilly forests. It was funny because there were a few signs to watch out for kangaroos and horses along the sides of the highway. We arrived at Rainbow Beach just in time to watch the sunset and we parked our van on the beach where we camped for the night. The stars there seemed to be brighter than anywhere else we have ever seen before so we left our moon roof open. We woke up at sunrise again, cooked breakfast and ate on the beach. Although it was a bit cloudy in the morning, the sun eventually came out and we were able to enjoy the extra blue water where you could see right down to the bottom wherever you were swimming. It would've been cool to have 4 wheel drive because you can drive all over the beaches and even to some secret areas where the sand gets blown onto the sides of the hills and into the nearby forests.
