Noosa and Surrounds

I said goodbye to Mum...



...After the mandatory farewell drinks at Mum's work. They call it wine o'clock every Friday at one o'clock.




My next stop has been with my brother who lives about 25 minutes drive west of Noosa. He lives just out of Cooroy, at a place called Black Mountain. It is unbelievably picturesque.


This is the view from my room at his place.




And this is my cute nephew, Zeke.


Father and son time is a blast around here.

We chilled out at Noosa, North Shore on the weekend.

Our campsite for the day. Stu with Zeke and Andy with Sammy.

Quality aunty time while Stu surfs in the background.





We also spent the weekend cruising the markets at Yandina and Eumundi (pictured above). I got a classic bargain at Yandina - a plastic tub for the sink run off under my van...$1. I may be doing Henna at the Eumundi markets, which are famous nationwide and VERY busy, nothing like jumping in the deep end. A friend of Stu, who does a market stall there is looking into it for me and is going to try to get me a stall position next to him undercover. Hopefully, there will be photos next posting of the whole stall business and the launching of ......Henna Designs. Ta Dah! (If you want to know more about Henna view the last slide on the right, under title "henna tattooing").
