An Easter Walk with a View

This is where we are going today.
Don't be alarmed.
Just forget that it is straight up.
It's not too far
and we will be rewarded
with wonderful views.

Follow that man in the white cap.
It's been raining a lot here.
You can smell the fresh vegetation
and the earthy ground.
Breathe...

Look we can already see the ocean
stretching to the North Shore.

See those apartments set in the bush,
they are part of a resort set in the gum trees.

Ah look, now we can see more -
down to the Hastings Street
the holiday apartments
and Laguna Bay.

You've done it.
We're at the top of the stairs now
and as the path ahead has a gentle climb
you can relax...

And look, we can see the Noosa River
and Mt Pomona in the distance.

Well done.
You have climbed 800m.
That wasn't too bad.
Was it?

Let's turn left now
and head for the lookout.

There are some yachts and pleasure boats
on the river enjoying Easter Friday.

Not far now.
Did you see the bush Turkey?
Too slow,
he's gone.

We are at the top
on the water tanks
~The Look Out~
We made it!

The swell is still rolling in to the points.
The surfers will have a happy Easter.

Now we can see the waterways
where we stand-up paddle.
And the Noosa River running
out to the mouth through
the sand bars on the right.

We can take our time
coming down the leafy streets
back to the ocean
and notice the hanging flowers
on this tree

Let's slip down here,
a little Bromeliad glade

And stop for a moment
to look
at this wonder

with the flying ants
feasting




And if you look up,
that brown lump
in the gum tree
is a sleeping koala
