We live in South Australia where it gets pretty cold during our winter mind you not as cold as some parts of Australia where they get snow
Our winter day time temps have been 9~ 14 c with very chilly winds . My husband suffers severe pain in winter due to major back surgery about 20 years ago ..so about 12 years ago we started escaping our winter chill by going to Queensland for a month where their daytime temps are usually around the 21~ 26 c for winter
I must say beautiful in winter but I’d never live here in summer it’s so humid.
We decided we’d take the option of driving the 2,200 km each way up here this year so we can go explore a place called
Mount tambourine http://visittamborinemountain.com.au/waterfalls/ waterfalls as well as the vast array of cottage industry local handmade goods.
We have always wanted to get up there however the paid tours treat you like sheep herding you from one place to, another as quickly as they can , their specialty on the TM tour is to get you to a quite few wineries in a set time
I’ve never drank and just not interested in such places so have never got up to Tamborine ..now we have the car here it’s in our list for two weeks time ,as we are here in sunny Queensland until mid September
While out shopping for a few essentials this morning I took a photo of these hand painted murals.
Sugar is grown here so one photo relates to the old days of sugar cane cutting ( they use tractor driven machinery now ) the other I’m not sure of but I thought they were extremely well painted ..it’s a new shopping only been open a week
so no ones damaged the photos as yet.
