After breakfast we all went on a self-guided tour of the area. First stop was Mapleton where we had a wander through the town and then a squiz at the Op Shop – nothing to see so moved along quickly.
Next stop was at Maleny for mornos at a coffee shop overlooking the valley and a wander through the shops and galleries. It is all very yuppy here in the mountains and nothing took our fancy. We were going to go on to Maleny however, the worms were biting, and Wendy’s hip was getting tired walking up and down the hills, so we went home. Sat and chatted around the fire whilst the others had their BBQ chicken dinner, cooked by Gunther in his Weber-type BBQ. He also cooked a self-saucing chocolate pudding in the BBQ!
