Tamborine Mountain

To-day we took a drive to Tamborine Mountain in the picturesque Hinterland of the Gold Coast.  We drove through lush rainforest to reach the top of the Mountain, a place popular with hang-gliders.  We had lunch at the Fortitude Brewing Co. where they serve meals, as well as brewing their own range of beers.  After lunch we continued to drive around this picturesque area

The view from Tamborine Mountain.  There were some hang gliders there, soaring high up in the air after taking off from a grassy slope

 A spectacular view over the surrounding countryside.  We then drove back down to the Scenic Rim region to a town called Boonah and stopped for a coffee at Cafe 17.  Boonah is a very pretty place in an area bustling with farms producing produce for the Brisbane markets.

Back at the farm the chooks were in the chook pen, waiting to be fed and let out for a scratch around outside their cage.  We were lucky to get a couple of eggs.

Some of the cattle on the farm, grazing on the stubble.  There is drought up here and rain is desperately needed.  The dam is almost empty and the cattle now have to be hand fed with hay.

Two water tanks on the property that take up bore water for using as grey water in the laundry and toilets.
