back from queensland

just back from our holiday to the sunshine coast, queensland. had some great weather, 25 degrees and 7 hours sunshine a day, and thats mid-winter. i kept saying to joe that we should move up to qld someday.

lots of people seem to have retired up there (ie lots of oldies) esp compared to the gold coast.

had a relaxing time, swimming, taking hot spas, shopping and looking at show homes. we hired a car and drove up the coast from coloundra to noosa. we were staying at alexandra headlands near mooloolaba beach - great name that!

logan and brad (the cats) stayed at the purrfect cat holiday home in williamstown, we have just collected them from their holiday and they seem a bit subdued. jet lag maybe? or too many cocktails and late nights maybe.

having hired a car today to pick up the cats, we also were inspired by the tropical flora of south-east queensland to go and buy 4 palm trees for our garden. at least we can pretend its tropical when we look out of the window now.

we like the pandanus trees (shown in picture) that grow all along the queensland coast, but the one plant we saw here was very small and sorry looking after a melbourne winter.
