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.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventually w

Hervey Bay and the case of the missing whales.

 Hi lovelies, It has been some 8 months since our last post.  Travel around the world has certainly changed in 2020. We had not planned to do too much traveling in the first half of the year, but we quickly discovered that us making that decision and the government telling us that we won't are two very different things. :-). Feeling the need for a bit of a break, and a touch of fishing we headed for Hervey Bay on Wednesday. We had a great drive up, even managed to stop for a quick chat with the lovely Shirley in Cooya.   On Thursday we headed for a quick trip to the information centre.  To my surprise Robbie wanted to book another whale watching cruise.  We spoke at length to the agent there and finally chose what was supposed to be the calmest day for the next week.  It was then off for a drive along the coast line from Point Vernon to Urangan.   The day was beautiful, though there were large patches of mist/fog that hung around some of the coast.  We had a lovely wander along the

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part
