A morning at Eumundi

Hi lovelies,

We had such a fun day today.  It was a bit of a late start as it was a bit cool overnight.  I thought if I got up too early I would need to put shoes on 😆.

After breakfast we headed into Eumundi to visit the famous markets. 


We were very blessed to find a park right beside the stairs and so off we went. 


The markets are huge and we spent all our two our parking limit wandering around the stalls.  The markets host such a wide range of goods.  Clothes, candles, leather goods, wood works, jewelery and of course food stalls.


While wandering we met Jasmine.  She is such a sweetie.






Jasmin is from the Maleny Botanical Gardens and we think we might visit her again while we are here.

She is very very gentle and her owner even convinced me to have her rest on my arm.  As bird feeding is a blood sport for me.  He spoke to Jasmin and told her to be very gentle.  She stood so softly on my arm and did not draw one drop of blood.

We then went for a short walk up the main street.  Outside the pub we spotted this well used piano.


We left the markets and headed back to the van.  On the way  my lovely husband indulged my wishes to pause at a number of spots to grab shots of some local artworks.
I love the way people have included old cars/trucks as part of their gardens.


This is a mail box with a difference....


 ...and it is protected by this unusual specimen.  We tried to work out if it was a odd looking turtle or perhaps a bushranger.

Then this beautiful little man standing guard over his owners letterbox.


We stopped at the little town of Belli Park where these structures are.
 
 



It was then back to the van, some lunch and then a nap.  A hard day.

Take care lovelies, stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love Us.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
