We have been holidaying and spending time up at the Bunya Mountains for many years. It is a national park 3 hours from where we live on the Sunshine Coast and about 40 minutes from Dalby where I did live. It is always green in a country which is beset with drought after drought and is covered in large high trees called...Bunya Trees! They are very green and have long spiky leaves and also very large nuts, about football size which drop to the ground below at 'nut' time. We booked a unit from Canada 8 months ago as it is a popular place at Easter...so having only seen it on the net I was a bit nervous about what we would find. But it turned out to be pretty perfect...2 bedrooms upstairs with their own ensuites and another one down with a large living and kitchen/dining area with a little balcony and bbq. And it backed onto a quiet lawn area where lots of wallabies were congregating...so very nice.
It was cold by our standards...11 degrees at nite so we lit the fire and cuddled up at nite and the days were pretty sunny and lovely although a bit cool. We spent the time making art and watching silly movies and reading and just lazing...also lots of food and junk food...it was easter after all...chocolate time...yay.
Trudy gave me a cardboard globe of the world which we put together and then painted and have begun keeping a record of where we all have lived and want to live...
On Good Friday we had the 4 kids there and that was really special for me as that is a rare occasion now...especially with me in Canada at times and Trudy and Tom planning on travelling too...
