I have a headache so tonight's blog will be circumspect.
After breakfast we headed into Woodford. Funny when we first drove through it it looked surprisingly large. Heading back today it looked much smaller. The brain is a funny thing and mine is funnier than most.
We retraced our steps northward from Woodford intending to go to Maleny. However the turn off signpost wasn't specific enough so we ended up at Kilcoy where we had coffee and morning tea. We retraced our steps once again and turned down the correct road although we did by pass Maleny and travelled across the Bruce Highway towards Caloundra and hence up towards Maroochydore. This road is one large shopping strip that goes for kilometres. We invoked he mercy rule before Maroochydore turning around and heading back up the road. I stopped at Tackle World to replenish my hook and line stocks. I also stopped at the Australian Offroad Campers factory to peer longingly through the fence at the Quantum. Back to reality we crossed back over the highway and had a Subway lunch.

It was then on to Maleny. We had an ice cream at the cafe suggested by Des. The queue indicated that the ice creams were good and they were. We wandered up and down the shops with the highlight for us being the David Linton furniture and timber works. Some magnificent pieces.
On our way back to the car one of those strange coincidences of life occurred. We bumped into Angela whom we knew in Nubeena from our time at the Motel. She had moved to Queensland while we were there. What are the odds of us all being in the same place at the same time. Contact details were exchanged and we will see if we can catch up while we are in the area.
We returned to base. Tea was the fish I caught the other day. I am pleased to report the catfish was good and the bass better.
night folks
Simon
