Cania Gorge

On Saturday we prepared to leave the gorge as we planned to go to Rainbow Beach for a five night stay starting on Sunday. We needed provisions so we drove to the site of the stall advised to us by our Monto friend which was adjacent to the painted silos which tell some of the story of the area. Monto itself has a number of its prominent features painted by local artists to provide an art trail and it seems to be fairly common for towns in the region. The stall was every bit as good as matey advised so we stocked up on fresh fruit and veg and his highly rated sweetcorn pickle. (it did not disappoint)
Returning into Monto two lady visitors were being accosted by the gentleman from Doncaster with exactly the same spiel we got a few days before.
We returned to the gorge for a quick swim before seeing the birds being fed at 4pm. This time the cockatoo did not appear for food, but the lorikeets and king parrots arrived in droves. By this time we deemed the temperatures had dipped sufficiently for us to go out walking again. We completed the bush walk up to the dragon cave, dogwood cave and the gorge lookout
Apparently the rain in Brisbane was now apocalyptic, Jamie telling us that six months of rain had fallen in just 72 hours.Read more
