Trip Down Under Continues - Noosa - Mid May 2011

We left Brisbane after our second short visit and went to Noosa for Ed's Team Building Workshop.  Noosa is a wonderful resort beach town.  It reminds me of the California coast.

 Our room in Noosa.

View from the balcony of our room. 
Ed was at meeting and I got to walk in the surf.

This part of the beach had a lot of surfers.

Special dinner the first night the wives were invited to attend of the Team Building. It was a  welcoming dinner for the wives. Myra and Anthony, one of the guys who works with Ed. Anthony works in Brisbane.  The team is spread all over, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Singapore, and Tokyo.
Let the fun begin. My first Karaoke performance.
Ed's Team members and the question remains, where is Ed?
Next morning the ladies had a hike up to Hell's Gate.
The scenery was beautiful.
This tree's root system got a lot of giggles from the group. One of the Australian ladies was keen on pointing it out to us.

Once at the very top you could see the Nude Beach which was right next to Hell's Gate, but no one was out on this day.

On our way back to the hotel.

They had to break into teams and complete a project.  Ed's group won.

Final night - Casino Royale


Ed and Myra -  Wah and Jerry
Let the gambling start.

I must have said something here.

We left Noosa and drove back to Brisbane to catch the flight to Tokyo.  We stopped in Eumundi to visit the very large Flea Market.  I got a cute little lightweight sweater.
We drove through several scenic little towns.
 Mapletown Falls

This is an actual road sign.
