Another boring day!
Tues 16th yet another wonderful day – this is getting so boring now. One amazing thing after another no mediocre or awful things at all. Left at 8.30 for Maleny Botanical Gardens. Already hot as we left. The gardens and aviary were amazing with views and plants to gobsmack your mind. All done by one man who’s name eludes me. I was particularly bowled over by the jade vine tree with it’s amazing flowers. I will try to sort out getting pictures on here today. I was forced to eat 2 ginger and date scones with jam and clotted cream with my pot of tea in what they call a gazebo but was more like a pavillion on stilts overlooking the gardens and mountains beyond. Absolutely wonderful.We then sauntered in the car down to Montville for lunch and a be
er/4 glasses of water. 36 degrees by mid- day. We returned home for a siesta as the heat was wiping us out.
We roused ourselves by 5 and i was taken to see the local urban kangaroos – yes you’ve heard of urban foxes well these are wild kangaroos grazing on grass by garages next to a house in the
suburbs! Adults and young – exciting! We then drove to Noosa for a sunset drink at the Boathouse, passing rosie pelicans on the river. We were sitting there innocently drinking our noosa river slings when we could see the spectacle of thousands of bats flying over to a nearby island for the night. A murmaration apparently like starlings. What a sight. The sunset was the usual cliche spectacular sunset. We dragged ourselves away and went to Coles ( like Tescos) for provisions. Julee made the most amazing salad of lettuce, pear, walnuts, avacado and fennel – and blue cheese wow! We watched a programme about bush fires – very pertinent here and as i was falling asleep i went off for badly needed shower. I tried to write about my boring day but fell asleep!
