Sunshine's Hinterland

We are home now, sorting out odds and ends as one does even after a tres relaxing trip, including cleaning up the van and putting her back into storage. Susan arrives up for a week or so tomorrow. Loads of family in the sunny state by the end of this week - we will be celebrating. The last couple of days at Maroochydore were relaxing - on Monday we took off to the Glasshouse Mountains and it's surrounding villages - not a perfectly clear day, but still A okay!.
This area is truly lovely and spring has really hit the valleys around the Glasshouse Mountains One of the peaks - Mount Beerwah, surrounded by pineapple plantations. We stopped for a coffee and the view at the Poet's Cafe in Montville
Montville's trees were spectacular We walked along a small stream to the Cascade Falls, very small, but a group of teenagers were enjoying swimming in the freezing pond at the end!!
Tuesday, we basically cleaned up, took a trip to Caloundra and Mooloolabah, and back in time to meet up with Chappy and Jen from New Zealand for a cup of tea and chat about their current holiday here.
Our last dusk at Maroochydore - Tuesday p.m.
