Duz Us: BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AT LAST

Yes, we are now experiencing some lovely fine days even though there is a huge swell blowing in and the waves are pounding it is still great to feel the sand between ones toes, sun soaking into ones back and a breeze blowing.

We explored the walkway up to the top for a view of all the surfers trying to catch a wave on our bikes and then around the shopping district of Coolum.

We took a drive up to Noosa Heads, Tewantin then up to Boreen Point where we discovered a lovely spot but the camping ground was closed for the week. Having a break before the school holidays I suppose.

What a busy place this is now. I guess we are used to wide open spaces these days so walked from the inlet car park and looked back along the beach to the main beach and shops. We did not even stop and stroll the shopping precinct before driving on up to Tewantin and beyond.

We stopped off at Noosa Marina and strolled around there before having a feast of scallops, calamari and prawns for lunch. Yum!

Another day we decided to drive down and reminisce of the times we took a weekend break up at Twin Waters Resort. Like everywhere up here on the Sunshine Coast, the suburbs have multiplied and all run into each other. Drove around to the beach side of the Resort only to find Sebel Twin Waters built and looking very busy. Decided to take a walk out to the beach starting on the inlet side. Lots of folk fishing and walking their dogs so found our way through the mangroves and sandhills over to the ocean beach. Spectacular. Sat and watched the day go bye before trudging back to the car and home.

Looking south to Cotton Tree, Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba.

Saturday got ourselves out of bed a little earlier to get up to the Eumundi Markets. Wow - how they have grown in size. Plenty to look at, eat and listen to entertainment. Well worth a visit if you find yourself up this way on a Saturday or Wednesday (I think it is). The sights, sounds and smells strolling around here just enrich you as all sorts of stalls beckon you to buy. No, No says Wayne - but......... yes I did get a couple of tops to wear.
