Australia: a long weekend

The rest of our time around Brisbane felt like a long weekend with friends.  We went on day trips, we had tea, we hung around and chatted.

We had a trip to Montville.  On the edge of a ridge of something, it's a little hilltop town with nice views.  Also a nice playground, a nice games shop, a nice cafe with very nice fruit loaf, a nice colourful kites & windmills shop, and a nice chocolate cafe.



We had a day trip to Mooloolaba, a beach up the coast.  Probably our warmest beach day of the holiday although we did relocate for lunch at exactly the right moment to miss the heavy rain storm.  Marisca and Anna enjoyed playing surfing together, digging holes, and the like.  We all had a bit of a swim in the sea too.






And on the last day before driving south, we hung around nearby, going to Redcliffe for swimming, picnic, playing, and cake.  Mmmm, cake.

  1. I hope you weren't disappointed by Montville or Mooloolaba? We love them, but we always worry when we recommend places!

    1. We loved them both! Very different vibes, and different places to visit which was fun, but both lovely in their own ways.
