Kandanga


We have absolutely loved getting off the Highway and travelling thru rolling hills and lush green foliage.    Its beautiful.    Arrived in a tiny place called Kandanga.   Fantastic campspot, beautifully maintained by locals.    Huge firepit, lots of seating and firewood bought in daily by the locals for us to enjoy.   All they ask is a gold coin donation.    We ended up here for 4 nights.    It was a very popular spot and we had lots of people to talk to around the fire each night.   The bowls club and pub do well out of this spot.   "Elvis" was performing at the Bowls Club but we couldnt be tempted.  We are still having problems with our batteries and 12 volt which isnt making Rick a happy boy.    Went off for a couple of drives thru the State Forests that surround this campspot.    The weather has been crazy.     Overcast and drizzly, then blue skies, sunshine, muggy, and then cool nights by the fire.   But shorts, thongs and a jacket have been the wear of the day. Morning tea by  Lake Borumba, drizzling rain and damp,  and then a picnic lunch in the sun in the forest.  Once again, I took Rick on a SHORT  walk to visit a waterfall.   It took in a creek crossing and a steady climb uphill, with " are we there yet" constantly ringing out.  Every walk we do, Rick is always looking for the escalator to get him in and out.  We were the only ones in the forest and it was quite eerie.   We visited Noosa, had fish n chips on the Esplanade, the sun was hot and the skies were blue and we felt blessed.  Very busy place, full of tourists and backpackers
