More Eating Same meal, different photographer! Dawn and I swapped places.

Mount Tamborine

On Monday, Aunty Dot and I ventured to Mt. Tamborine, inland from the coast. While there, we visited the Mt. Tamborine Winery, where Robbie works. No photos of the winery and its web site seems to have disappeared.

Looking West from Mt. Tamborine This is looking west from Mt. Tamborine. The view is too large to do justice with just one photo.

View from St. Bernard Pub The view from St. Bernard's Pub, where we had lunch. As it was raining, we had to eat indoors.

The Pope Property

An afternoon family house gawking tour followed the rigours of mountain climbing. Ernie was the perfect tour guide, stopping to sample the hospitaility of cousin's homes.
