Our week in Mooloolaba 

What? Where? ….huh?
So that’s in Queensland, Australia, just north of Brisbane, on the beautiful Pacific ocean, part of the ‘Sunshine Coast’ area of Australia. And it is gorgeous, with perfect weather and nice people. We visited the Australia Zoo where Evelyn made friends with the kangaroos and koalas. We also went to the Mooloolaba Aquarium where Evelyn fed a seal. We had a great week of swimming and doing lots of fun tourist stuff.

The photos below show the various activities and sites that we enjoyed here.

The Mooloolaba River had some nice marinas and moorings.
The outdoor pool was right beside our room. That was nice for early morning hot tubbing but kind of noisy on the weekend.
The rocky beach – not where we swam.
Mooloolaba from the water. The tallest building is our hotel.
The first stop at the Australia Zoo. Definitely one of the nicest zoos we’ve seen.
This is a bush turkey that was close to our hotel. They are everywhere and not scared of people.
What a cute little koala, cooling off in a tree at the zoo.
The Australia Zoo was started by Steve Irvin’s father as a refuge for crocodiles and other reptiles.
Evelyn made friends with many kangaroos at the zoo.
Love my shades! Evelyn’s new motto.
We took a cruise around the harbour and out on the ocean. We saw jellyfish and some rare Australian dolphins called humpback dolphins.
Evelyn volunteered to feed this very large fur seal at the Aquarium.
Mark and Evelyn try stand up paddle boarding. It’s a lot of work.
