Day 24 Saturday 19/6/21 Kenilworth, sunny with a cool breeze We expect the park to get busier today but no. It’s about one third full though the town is jumping. It’s a hilly town and walking the backstreets is a good workout for the legs but we probably undo it by buying another tub of chocolate mousse and a punnet of strawberries. Concerned about the upcoming school holidays we make bookings and plan the next few weeks in the lead up to our Capricorn Coast Mulambin stay. This is a constant worry as we always need a Plan B in … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 24 – Chihuahua!
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 … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 23 – Forgetful?

Day 21 Wednesday 16/6/21 Somerset Dam, fog then sunny 20 Another foggy morning. The neighbours leave early making us wonder if we only imagined their presence last night. They didn’t even get to see the place in daylight. Were we … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 21 – Too good Toogoolawah
Day 20 Tuesday 15/6/21 Somerset Dam, fog, thunderstorms 8-19 We wake to another misty morning.
