We started walking around, taking in the scene. Then it started to drizzle, so it seemed we should have lunch. Le Monde, which Chris says has been operating for years, was the choice, especially as it was close by. So we had a pleasant, slow lunch, waiting for the rain to cease.
The front part of the cafe is open, though under cover! There were
sparrows flying around, looking for food scraps on the ground. And
this pair of rosellas on the adjacent building's roof. It looked as
though they were drinking the rainwater in the guttering, but perhaps
there was also food in there.
The silver disk at the bottom has pointers to various landmarks, while the Noosa River is seen in the distance. It's mouth to the sea is just to the right behind the bushes/trees.
Noosaville to the far left, Noosa in the middle, and showing the
mouth of the Noosa River. And the sand bars at the entrance, which
apparently move around quite a bit.
The Coast Guard building is "behind" the tree limb just to the right
of the middle. The building is to the right of the 6 storey building
on the other side of the inlet in the middle of the picture.
The larger version of this picture has the Coast Guard facility marked.
Chris and Deb's home as seen from the river. It is a very suitably
designed home for this environment, with a nod to the
Queenslander
style of home - built up with space underneath which is used for
ventilation, among other things. As well as a place to dry clothes,
put the rain water tanks, and a shower when returning after swim.
Upstairs is contemporary, predominantly white, with something of
a beach home decorating style.
The house from the jetty. Guest accomodation is downstairs.
And the area is very quiet, apart from the occasional boat on the river.
The downstairs view of the river, looking across to Tewantin.
The view from upstairs. One could easily adjust to this. Especially
when the sun is shining.
