The view from the lookout
And the information, we looked for a cache here but it was too well hidden for us.
We had a wander around Maleny, found the cows sculpture and a cache, but I forgot to take a photo.
Next stop was at a lookout with a cache which we found..😊 we also had a wonderful view out to the coast.
This enormous tree was at the lookout, I really like the flowers.
The countryside up here is beautiful, so green and lush.
The next stop was Mountville, there were some beautifil old buildings here
The village hall and a memorial to the men who went to fight in WW1, six didn't come back so they are remembered
By these trees, each has a name plaques next to it.
There was also a cache here hidden in the tree which we found.
The church was open, to our surprise so we went in and had a look, inside was so peaceful, there was gentle music playing
The stain glass windows were beautiful
From here we went to another town and found a cache in the Pioneers park, no photo as it was getting late and we needed to head on home.
We had a wonderful day out and about.
Today is packing up and flying home day, back to the winter weather.
Have a wonderful day.
Gorgeous photos and how wonderful to find so many caches! Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Sue. Mum & I spent 6 days staying at Montville once & exploring all the glass house mountains area & the sunshine coast. I loved that holiday. Safe travels home Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteYour trip was fabulous, you visited some great places. Love the dreamy church windows, so beautiful. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOoo I think Maleny is where there is a huge permaculture place buti I have never visited it.I do love historical buildings and stained glass windows. ( as well as tiled floors and old doors lol. )
ReplyDeleteThe Sunshine Coast hinterland is beautiful. I think we have been to the same lookouts. What a sweet church you found. Searching for caches adds a nice bit of fun.
ReplyDeleteI just love both those areas.. so many lovely views and walks and things to see. We noticed the trees when we last drove by and they are very like what we had in Africa and we called lucky bean trees as the seeds were red with a black spot. So pretty all in flower...

What an absolutely lovely time. Thanks for your pictures, and the trip posts. Those trees are so huge, they must be very old. I'm glad you had fun with the geocaching! If I'm ever lost with you, I want you to be the one reading the compass. My skills are rusty!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a NiCe area. I love it every time I visit too...xox
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed how many caches you find! I love historic churches - there are always interesting stories about the windows or other historical features. Hope you had a safe trip home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip. I love all the war memorials in all the cities here in NZ, too.
ReplyDeleteThe church is gorgeous with those beautiful windows. Great series of photos.

Beautiful places and the stained glass window are beautiful indeed. Loved the view of the Glasshouse Mountains!
