Hippie Hippie Shake

28 March 2010

I leave Cairns amidst sporadic showers and I am disappointed that I didn’t get to snorkel the GBR but there might be an opportunity to do some snorkelling in the Dominican Republic when I visit Ig and family. If not, then there are always plenty of other reefs in the world to look at!

B & B pick me up at Brisbane airport and I am whisked off to Maleny which is about an hour and a half’s drive North West of Bris Vegas (as the locals call it).

Maleny is a lovely little ‘hippie’ hamlet situated amongst rolling hills and farm land and most of the countryside reminds me of England. B & B live in a house overlooking the Glass House Mountains and the view from the house is quite spectacular. It is nice to have my own room, bathroom and a home cooked meal (a Sunday roast with all the trimmings: sweet, mate!)
