On Wednesday we visited the Hinterland region which is about 15km west of Maroochydore, and visited Lake Bason, lovely chintzy town called Montville, lots of quaint craft shops and themed cafes, bought our first souvenir - a cockrel wind chime
A short drive North and we came across Kandalilla Falls National Park, which was a not too strenu0uis walk through a rainforest area to quite spectsacular falls, they were more active as we'd experienced a sudden downpour on our walk through the tree canopy which shielded us from the worst of the rain!!
Today Thursday we drove up the coast north to Tewantin, then a short ferry crossing to the Noosa Everglades and Teewah coloured sands beach, which stretches for about 10 miles, and we were the onmly people on it!! seclusion can certainly be achieved here, nice not to hear loads of kids screaming, hot-rod cars revving and people chatting!!
The beach, dunes and everglades are all part of a protected area - the everglades host over 40,000 migrating birds every year and is apparently a sighte to behold.
Just west of Teewantin we ascended Mr Timbeerwah which gave us spectacluar views of the surrounding area - really showed us the enormity of the region and the country, and we've only experienced a fraction of it!!
A good one for Dave & Heather as we were walking up the mountain footpath, bearing in mind there was only one other car in the car park we walked past a guy who shouted back to his wife "howay man"!!! sounded just like Dave, and guess what he came from Alnwick originally now living in Oz!! what a small world it is!!
