Long way Journey at Hinterland
Maybe I can say that this day I have already seen the whole Sunshine Coast – I don’t think so? I have a long tour this day and it is fantastic. I have said goodbye to my first mother host Momi Meryl at the Brightwater. Today is my last day of staying for her house and I will miss Shany her dog and the ice cream every night while watching MKR “My Kitchen Rule”. I have learnt lot of things from Momi Sheryl since she is very open to me to share her life, family and experiences in life.
The Sun Air Bus is coming! I stop for being emotional and I continue my journey at Sunshine Coast.
I have met Paul, a very friendly driver and he drove me for my first ever long way tour. With me is Megan and she accompany me for my trip. Actually, we are eleven passenger and at the same time tourists who have a tour today. Some are from New Zealand, England, and Philippines (me), some are in other part of Australia.
Our first stop is on the Ginger Factory, where the world’s finest ginger is located here. While walking for the entrance of the factory there’s a lady approaching to us for a free taste of ginger candy and it was good. The place is awesome because there’s a lot of Australian souvenirs stores, Coffee, at the same time factories, including a chocolate factory. Me and Megan ride on their mini train for a small tour for the place.
We went also to the Nutworks and I was amazed with the nuts here at Aussie. I have tasted Macadamia Nuts for free, and it’s very yummy without any doubt, bought a one pack of it. Macadamia Nuts is a very famous nuts here in Queensland. It is made in Queensland and we have plantation here at Sunshine Coast and it is located on the way going to Maleny. It is also the most expensive nuts in the world, it is amazing.
Our next destination is going to Mapleton. We visit the Mapleton National Park where the Mapleton Falls located. The wind is very cool and you feel the natural and refreshing breeze of the trees. The view is very beautiful and very relaxing, it just like you are near in the clouds and you see the mountains, the trees and birds – I thought I was Tarzan.
We have taken our lunch on the Montville town and we look around the place to find something to eat. I have my massive lunch for today – yes very huge burger.
Our next stop is on the Maleny town where we visit the Maleny Winery. The place is excellent and there is a big barrel restaurant where you will taste some samples of wine. Theirs is also souvenirs store and antique things inside. I have taken shots of the view outside, the mountain that I haven’t got snap on it while we are riding in the bus.
I really enjoy my trip and it is naturally refreshing. Mr. Paul drove me at The Sebel where I will gonna sleep for tonight. Yes, The Sebel, a very famous 5 star hotel here in the Sunshine Coast. I’m so very lucky, it is amazing isn’t it?
