Some Summer Sun

G’day Readers.

Another eternity has passed since the last post. Trying to work out how the months can sail past as quickly as they do requires a brain far more capable than mine.

Anywho (not a typo) on to this post. In the middle of the Australian winter we Cassons had the opportunity to spend a week on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. A place that, on average, has around 3,000hrs of sunshine a year. It also has a thriving pineapple industry (apparently it takes two years for them to become ripe). They’re big too. Just look at the one in the photo below.

The place we called home went by the name of Mooloolaba and was about an hour above Brisbane by car, on a good day; but since the roads between the Gold Coast (where we flew into) and Sunshine Coast are crap, journey times are random at best.

However, the frustrations of the drive soon faded away once we soaked up the view from our apartment.

Unfortunately for Bec, some of her time on the Sunshine Coast was taken up with work; but the rest of the Casson family didn’t have such binds, so off we went and explored this great part of Australia.

We visited waterfalls:

Walked amongst dinosaurs:

Enjoyed the watery delights of an aquarium:

Visited coastal towns renowned for their natural chic and beauty:

Mixed with the locals:

And walked in rainforests:

We also made sure we dined out as much as possible to experience the renowned local cuisine:

Suffice to say, it was a tough few days on the Sunshine Coast but we Cassons were more than capable of meeting the challenge head on.

So until that challenge surfaces, be well one and all.
