This morning Mike and Lyn took us out for breakfast at a nice cafe in Noosa Heads. There were a few heavy showers whilst we were eating and the poor waiter had to keep moving the tables and closing all the doors – then opening them – then closing them etc etc.
After breakfast Lyn went to see her grandson Jack in a play and me, Andy and Mike went for a walk through the Noosa National Park. We had wanted to do a longer walk around the coast line but because of the rain we shortened it to a 20 minute walk to a lookout point, Devil's Gate, around Tea Tree Bay.

Just as we got to the lookout the heavens opened and it poured down. I have never been so wet in my life – I could feel the water squelching in my boots and my clothes were drenched. It was also scary seeing the change in the pathway as we walked back with torrents of water pouring down the hillside in places. We passed some surfers in just togs and a surf board and couldn't help but think that they were in a much better position than us with our North Face and Peter Storm gortex outdoor wear.

Back at Mikes we dried off and had lunch. Noosa Heads was hosting the Noosa Ironman, a surf life-saving Competition that includes swimming, skiing (~canoeing) and boarding. We'd like to have gone to watch it in person but the weather really was atrocious and so we opted to watch it on the TV instead in the warmth of the house.
At 6pm we went out for a final dinner with Mike and Lyn and then came home and watched a film.
