Last hours in Brisbane, Crystal Waters and Noosa

Last night in University of Queensland (SOS forum) was great: A "skirt" party where all the people should wear skirt. Some men took the change and got really dressed as "beautiful" women (you can imagine). I'm sorry but I have no one photo of this crazy party, but some of my clothes still have pink paint... So: live music, skirt, paint, and lots of laugh!! And some spanish too I practice my spanish with Patricia (nice "asturiana" girl) and Levi (authentic mexican guy).

Following day, there was another party in a friend's place, I'm getting old and more than two parties are too much, so took really easy, anyway Sophie and her group play nice music to relax. And then was the time for Crystal Waters comunity...

The hosts and the guests.












Belive or not, I drank only one beer, but cooking with an australian, an israeli and a mexican is so funny...
















Cool house and nice people around...












Crystal Waters comunity is near Melany, one hour and a half driving from Brisbane. It is a group of people living in their own farms, sharing resources, comunity decision and knowledge. Most of them practice the permaculture (permanent + culture) and they are really conscious about sostenibility and their enviroment. We stayed in the Visitor's area, where you pay the first night and then you can work for paying your accomodation (cool!!). We stayed there a full week, share good moments with the people (levi, the mexican; Amy, the Tazy; Sophie, Syd; Noam, the israeli; Corey, the crazy abor guy; Ant, the artist, Sam, the oz traveler; Justin, NZ traveler; John...). Apart from working a couple of days, there was a relaxing days: swimming, chatting, making and playing Dijee*,...
I got a special memories of that days, difficult to describe, but for sure very important and full of new ideas.
Levi, the mexican guy. I love the mexican accent!!













In Crystal waters probably there are more kangaroos than humans and they are pretty friendly.











No comment... (Levi con esta foto vas a ligar un monton!!)












Sophie (after a hardworking day ;-) and an "Arnold", the muscled kangaroo.












Levi and the big guys of visitors area in Crystal waters (Corey and Ant).













After the relax of Crystal Waters, I drove to the touristic place, Noosa. Beatiful beaches, spectacular National Park, and a cool backpackers place (10$ for using their facilities, free surfboard, free kayak).
From the Noosa Heads, while doing some boulding, I saw a couple of whales very, very close to the coast (like 15 m?) amazing!!! An unforgotten view, believe me!! Sorry no time for photo...:-(
I shared some chats, card game,... with three french beatiful girls and a cool englishman (not the typical english who use to run around the east coast ;-)
I've been surfing some days and I'm getting more feeling, the pity is north from here you can't surf because of sharks and the reef :-( That's why i'm stayed more than I was planned.
