We had freshly baked fish, calamari, salad and chips for lunch and then walked along the lovely white Mooloolaba beach. After afternoon tea we drove to Robert's house where we parked our camper in there back yard.

Today Robert and Bev, took us on a sight seeing tour. We first went to a ginger factory and from there to Eumandi. We wanted to have a look at the aboriginal art at the museum but it was closed. We looked around and decided to have lunch at a pub. We saw an aged old fuelling station, stroll along the streets and into a bookshop. It was so peaceful with nothing much going on and almost no traffic. We went back to the art gallery where the car was parked. Bev saw a man on the property and he was kind enough to unlock the gallery for us to have a look around. There were not many paintings and we were not really impressed. On our way back we stopped at the Big Pineapple and Aldi. We were quite excited to go to Aldi, our favourite shop in Germany, but was a bit disappointed because it didn't have even a quarter of the products that are usually in Aldi. Our expectations were too high! Anyway Sarath was happy to find an Asian shop where he could buy some curry paste, mango chutney and Kata Sambol.

At about 10:00 we left from Robert and Bev and drove towards Kavana beach. We stopped at an inland river and I prepared a tasty lunch with fried onions, corned beef, tomatoes and eggs for us. We drank coffee and relaxed a bit before we visited a shopping mall and drove from there to Sarath's classmate, Irvine, and his wife Yvette Howie. They live next to the Sunshine Coast University.
Irvine and Yvette really made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed the delicious SL dinner that Yvette prepared for us.

Yvette and Irvine left early this morning to go to Brisbane. We stayed at their home, slept in and then did our laundry. Later on we went to the same shopping mall to where we went the day before.
Sarath discovered on FB that it was Irvine's birthday!!

We left from Sippy Downs late this morning. It was so nice to stay with Yvette and Irvine that we were feeling reluctant to leave them.
