1/1 - Maroochydore

Hi All,

The bad weather forced us to cancel Fraser Island and to go directly to Sunshine coast.
Over there we arrived to the nice city - Maroochydore, Anette from Chiburim hosted us with a great joy. We thought we will stay there for 2 days top, enjoy one each other's company, but the destiny had different plans for us and eventually we stayed there for a week.

First, the weather not only wasn't getting better but only got worse, at least we got to see Australia Zoo (of the Crocodile Hunter)


and visit Glass House Mountains National Park


Second, our car started to cause us some problems, we couldn't start it running.
Third, because of the new year, many car mechanic shops were closed (like other shops during that time).

At least we were really lucky that our car broke down at Anette's place, thanks to her help, our problems were taking care of quickly.
Eventually, we found the problems with our car were not that serious, it was caused mainly due to the moist weather... No doubt, this bloody weather didn't make us feel good, but on the other hand we spend a great time with Anette (she is really nice and cool person) and got to meet her friends at "Neighbours Aid". They are wonderful people who join together and help Israel in many ways.
For example, this group of Christians who love Israel, opened a second hand shop, which they receive as donations from the locals cloths, furniture etc. and sell them in very cheap prices, all of the money goes to those who needs it and most of it goes to Israeli charity funds.

After a very interesting week in rainy Maroochydore, when we got our car back, we continue our journey towards Brisbane.

Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
