TUESDAY 28 APRIL     TEWANTIN

It was a pleasant, warm day.

John bowled at the Noosa club. He really enjoyed his game there.

After an early lunch, I went for a cycle. Rode to Tewantin, where I went to the bank and also bought some fruit. Then rode on to Noosaville to collect my photos. Bought some sausages. The chores completed, I rode around some of the luxury canal-front areas, just exploring and looking. The blocks seemed very small and very filled with new, upmarket houses – some luxurious looking, others just pretentious.

Had a look at the Munna Point Caravan Park that E and A had recommended, but feel that where we are is nicer.

Coming back on the bike path there was the usual noisy chattering from the many rainbow and scaly lorikeets, feeding and squabbling in the flowering trees. The smell in a couple of spots was a give-away to where there were mobs of fruit bats hanging up in those same trees.

It was an enjoyable and varied 20km ride. I felt good.

Tea was chicken breast cooked in a foil parcel, with honey and orange. It was a little bitter – think I grated the white pith in too.

We were both weary after tea, so did no preliminary packing up. Had an early night instead.
