Mercifully wind free night tonight but still a bit cool We are sitting against the chimenea which is blazing away so one side of us is warm at least.
We had a decadent sleep in not arising until 830 this morning. By the time we had breakfasted and used our expresso machine plus a good session on the net it was 11 o'clock. Susan was dismayed and we rushed up the road to Eumundi for the market, Susan hoping that we weren't too late. We were too late by 24 hours since the big market that gridlocks Eumundi is on Saturday and Wednesdays. We tootled around the town. Susan ventured into the hemp shop and I now have a new shirt. She bought a hat and a top. The hat is visible in today's pictures. After visiting the market square we had some gourmet pies for lunch and headed off to Noosa.
On the Noosa road Susan spotted a road side sign advertising an "Eco" house for inspection. It was a private opening and the owner showed us round. It was Eco from the point of view of avoiding "chemical" finishes inside the dwelling. The price was a stunner $690K. The Domain.com link is Here

Entering Noosa i drove into Bunnings and purchased a Gas fuse to let me know more easily when our bottles need refilling. They are clamped in the trailer so it is a bit of messing around to take them out and weigh them by hand to see what's left. Noosa I found a little bit disorientating. It is sort of like the Gold Coast canals but with the whole lot screened by trees. You know there are light industrial areas and housing estates but they are hard to see through the trees. I guess you could say they have done a much better job of preserving a natural look than many other Queensland coastal resorts. We drove down the coast road to look at the beach but were undone by the lack of parking and general access. We U turned and called in at Sunshine beach for a quick look. We visited Coles for groceries and had a coffee before returning via Cooroy to Imbil.

As mentioned previously we have been sitting around the fire this evening. Tomorrow we will pack up and move. Peter and Annie who live a bit up the road expressed interest in us giving them a hand HelpX style so we will go and check it out.
night folks
Cheers Simon
P.S. Susan seems to have no ill effects from her tick bite the other day. I was able to identify it as a bush tick (as distinct from the cattle and paralysis ticks) from an information poster in the vets window at Kenilworth the other day.
