Hervey Bay (Urangan) to Nambour

Early morning walk to the Marina. Packed up & left house at around 8.30am. Traffic on Bruce Highway not too bad. We were very impressed with Maryborough. The amount of beautiful Queenslander homes was amazing. They are beautiful. The preserved architecture in the main street was astounding. First stop was Cooroy. This was to be our farewell to Kim & Colleen, but the bus was ages away so we continued on to Eumundi. What a discovery this little town was! We had a drink at the beautiful Imperial Hotel and this time parted ways with the Bessell's. We have had a wonderful few days with them exploring some great little towns. They are off to pick up their grandies from Sunshine Coast Airport. The publican let us leave our bags behind the bar so that we could wander around. We dropped into the Sunshine Coast version Matso's (the only one outside of Broome). Back to the Imperial for lunch & who should arrive with grandies in tow? The Bessell's!!! After farewell #3 we headed for the bus stop to take us to Yandina. A great little pub (moved there on rollers from somewhere). Another lovely little town with preserved architecture.
The next bus to take us on was very late (we rang the information line & the man was very helpful). We ended up getting the train to Nambour (1 stop). We called in to the Commercial Hotel & decided to book in for the night. Walking around we discovered the 2 other pubs were shut today, so took the train (1 stop) to Woombye & had a light dinner there. Nice little pub that has got some major renovations coming soon. We got the train back & happy to get into bed.Read more
