Mooloolaba Australia Dec2010

We have enjoyed our short stay here inspite of all the rain. Last night was a Christmas parade of boats that went up and down the harbour all decked out with Xmas lights.
There are a lot of nice walking trails around here. Several trails along the open ocean beaches and trails down the canals. Lots of shops not to far away for us without a car. Am sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so we can go ashore again. It has been raining of and on for a week now and no end in site.
There has been serious flooding in many parts of Australia so far this season. They say this is the wettest spring Australia has ever had, and the highest their dollar has ever been. Perfect timing on our part.
Very early tomorrow morning, conditions permitting we will head South to Manly though we may anchor for the night of Bribie island and then continue to Manly the next day to work the tides right. There is a lot of tide action and shallow sand banks for miles around here so carefeul navigation is required and working the tides to also avoid wind against tide conditions if possible.
