Australia 2022 last few weeks

 Coming to the end of my stay in Australia but still a few adventures to go.  Ady and I drove to Pierre and Toy's to visit Roma street park with Toy and Audrey.

We had a lovely walk on Beachmere and then took Blue for a walk at Redbeach where dolphins appeared right by the shore, herding the fish in.

A visit to the Botanic Gardens in Maleny was a delight.  

Then we went on the Ferryman cruise in the Bribie passage and saw dolphins again.

We visited Brisbane by train to see a couple of art galleries.

The Sunshine Coast's Wildflower festival started and we went on a couple of walks.  One on Bribie and the other at Mt Beerburram in the Glasshouse mountains.

I am off to stay with Anna and family at the weekend then fly back on Monday.
