Day 23 Friday 18/6/21 Kenilworth, sunny 21

A chilly clear morning. Woody does the washing across the road at the community run Socks and Jocks Laundry.

We take a drive to Maleny, 40kms to the south along the Blackall Range. It’s a picturesque drive through farmlands, dairy pastures and rainforests with views from the crests over the ranges.

After walking the town we have a leisurely coffee and watch the local activity. It’s an upmarket as well as alternate town and there is a broad mix of population of all ages. Though when shopping in the IGA grocery I notice a number of lost items hanging on a Perspex Covid screen; 1 walking stick, 4 pairs of glasses. Perhaps the population is ageing.

How do you know when you are in Qld? When the locals are wearing their winter woollies, jumpers, puffer jackets and …thongs.

We watch the trees turn golden in the setting sun and cook a prawn curry for dinner.
