The second day of our visit to Brisbane, Gail and Paddy took us for a ride west to the City of Toowoomba. Barre has been through here a number of times with Surrey on their way north. Barre also was here for 5 days giving a waterlily presentation. We visited the Japanese Garden in the city. The weather cooperated, clearing inland.
The last day we headed southwest to Lamington N.P. We drove up to the high elevation subtropical rainforest throught the large rainforest trees. At the end of the road was O'Reilly's. This is a private ecotourism area on the top of the mountain. We walked through the botanical garden and along the tree-top walk.
There was an area to feed the wild birds. These were priamily Crimsom Rosellas (above), King Parotts, and Scrub Turkeys.
On thw way north we went up onto Tamborine Mt., a beautiful high elevation area with many beautiful homes. The view above was from the launch site for hang-gliders. The weather was beautiful for most of the day with only exception a cloudy period with light showers at the higher elevation of Lamington N.P. Thursday we headed to the airport with Marion going back to Sydney and Barre to Cairns. There he was met by Andre Leu and then to Daintree. Tomorrow Barre and Andre head west on the Waterlily collecting trip.
