We're down to our last time in Australia now and head off to Los Angeles next for a few days before finally arriving home. It's been an incredible 3-month journey with lots of adventure along the way.We've enjoyed the fabulous Queensland weather immensely. In particular, we've really enjoyed the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. However, the less commercial Sunshine Coast has our vote for being the most scenic. We've seen some really awesome things in this area and as the photos will show, we've come across some interesting wildlife in the area as well. As an added bonus, when we approached a pineapple farmer by the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast wanting to purchase some pineapples, he simply asked us how many we wanted and went to pick three fresh ones from the field which we brought back to our apartment. This is just a typical example of how friendly people are in Queensland.
Now it's time to pack for our flight to Los Angles. Perhaps we'll have a chance to report from there. Thanks for continuing to tune into our blog. Lorraine and Trevor
