• Nambour to Perth

    October 7 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We left the hotel at 9am and got on the train for a short ride to Landsborough. This pub was relocated from somewhere on skids (the 2nd pub we have found that has done this). It was moved each night & opened during each day to avoid mutiny! This took 2 weeks! At the train station, there is a WW2 bomb shelter. The entrance has been blocked off. Back onto the train to Beerwah. Attractive art Deco pub. We had lunch there. Jacko had a pork knuckle & said it was much better than the one he had in Germany! Onto the train again for the next stop at Glass House Mountains. Modern pub. Captain Cook named the mountains saying they resembled the glass making kilns in Yorkshire.
    Back on the train & after a couple of changed ended up at the airport. We spent a few hours plane & crowd watching (highly entertaining!). Our flight left at 8.25pm (EST) & we landed to a cold & damp night (midnight WST). We were in bed at the motel by 1am.
    We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our friends exploring some wonderful countryside & towns.
    Queensland has done a wonderful job of retaining and maintaining its heritage.
