Christmas in Australia (at the beach)

Somehow Santa seem to find Lily in Australia.  Amazing how that happens.  Some candy and a Cinderella video.  We also got to spend a wonderful Christmas day visiting Noosa Heads.  About 40 minutes from our house swap location in Woombye.  It was a beautiful day to be out at the beach taking a hike around the National Park at Noosa.  The shopping was top notch and the hiking excellent as well.  It was strange to see so much activity at the beach on Christmas day.  Seemed pretty normal for the Australian's however.  After some hiking we thought we would drop into a restaurant for a nice meal.  Only to have the hostess tell us that it would be $155 per person (no drinks included).  So we got a salad and burger and ate on the beach instead.  And we did have a great Christmas dinner once we got home.

Our first Kokabura (remember that song? Kokabura sits in the old gum tree...)

Lily enjoying a little hiking at Noosa Heads National Park... okay she did more stroller riding than hiking, but at least mom got a good workout pushing the stroller

Lots of surfing going on in Australia... although these guys were spending more time waiting for waves than riding them...
