Sunshine Coast
February 14 - 16, 2010
Day 1
Glasshouse Mountains
Leaving Brisbane before 9AM, we headed for the Sunshine Coast. Our first stop was the Glass House Mountains National Park. The mountains were named in 1770 by English explorer Captain James Cook. They were so called as the shape of the mountains reminded him of the huge glass houses because of the singular form of their elevation.
We then had a big scrumptious breakfast at Glasshouse Mountains Lookout Cafe. It's a good thing we arrived hungry :). It is a wonderful place to sit and relax overlooking mango trees and fantastic views of Mount Coonowrin.
Ettamogah Pub
On our way between the Glasshouse Mountains and Coolum Beach, we stopped over at Ettamogah Pub - a quirky shaped building known to be the most photographed pub in the world. It was built in 1989 and is now one of Queensland's leading tourist attractions. Yeah it's too early for a mug of beer but they just love drinking. :)

Coolum Beach
We arrived in Coolum Beach at lunchtime and checked in at Beach Retreat Coolum Resort. Just had a short rest, changed and went to the beach. Had fish and chips for late lunch and browsed the shops. Lala and I enjoyed shopping :). We went back to the beach and tried the water before sunset.

Day 2
I got up early to enjoy the morning waves. After 15 minutes of swimming in the beach I went to relax in the pool before breakfast. Spent the whole day shopping, walking, eating, sleeping and swimming. :)

Day 3
We checked out at 8:00AM and got ready for 3-hour trip back to Brisbane. Margaret (with Jack) drove us to Brisbane airport. I boarded my flight back to Sydney while Lala and Simon flew off to Melbourne to continue their holiday. :)
