After the Glasshouse Mountains, Pip and I went to Maleny and went to Kondalilla Falls, which was absolutely beautiful and so much fun for climbing! We went again a few weeks ago with Amy and had such a great day. Photos will explain this better anyway... Maleny is a cool little hippy town, we saw some good and not-so-good live music there! The hinterland towns are a lot quieter than the coast, but the disadvantage is that the sea isn't there...... read more

We had booked a camp site at Gheerula camping grounds and planned to park at Mapleton Falls and hike the "Great Walk". Well half of it any way, what we believed to be about a 10-12k hike taking about 3 to 5 hours. What we actually found was about a 14-18k hike taking about 8 hours of relatively hard pace hiking. We never took into account the zigzagging of the track extending the distances on the map a lot. Passing some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever been through made it totally worthwhile.

Well the time is upon me again to welcome the globe travelling freckle to the golden sands of Australia.Once again I was waiting for her at the gate when she walked through sporting a new haircut,which looks amazing by the way,and the aura of a pommie just stepping off the plane.I quickly whisked her away in the van,is what I should be writing if the vans head gasket hadnt blown the previous week.Timing is the master of something as someone once wrote,I think, but this was a kick in the nads as far as our plans were concerned.I had rented a car for the week so I whisked her off in my Hyundi to the town of Noosa on the north of the sunshine coast where we checked into a lovely ... read more
