The Sunshine Coast I've grown to love

These particular photographs are all about another place I have grown to love. Julie and I were very reluctant at first about the idea of living here on the Sunshine Coast and there were many reasons why we didn't want to leave the Darling Downs, which amongst other things we had settled down there and had grown to love the place. But when the opportunity presented itself I am very glad we made the move.
These photos featured within this post are a combination of scenes, nature, tourist sites, people and many other things that I attach to living here on the Sunshine Coast.


Looking towards Mount Coolum from the shop at Mc Martin's Farm


A bountiful harvest awaits to be picked in the final picking of the strawberries.

Beautiful and sweet are the berries on the vine.
A butcher bird surveys the scene


Looking down from the shop toawardds one of the dams. Truly a beautiful setting that is so close to suburbia but yet so far from a fickle world that is transfixed on materilistic things in life.
 


There was no money in this wishing well, more the pity.


Cannot take the boss anywhere without her making a spectacle of herself
and this time she had to try on a strawberry hat on. Have to say it's
becoming of a grandmother.

This sign says it all, made by a feminist farmer's wife.
