Walking Noosa Hill

I have been walking over Noosa Hill


through the rainforest


the eucalyptus forest


the bush


and the wallum


to Sunshine Beach


a journey of up to three hours depending on the time
one takes to enjoy a mango smoothie
or a salmon bagel on The Deck
overlooking the beach in the little township


Now it is spring


I have been on the lookout for 
these 


and these


and these


I have seen and heard these


and heard the Splendid Blue Wrens
and the whipbirds


but the others are remaining elusive
however I did see this


and this
but now that I am walking with Canon again
I hope to spy them soon



I take Noosa Hill route 3, the orange path
until it joins the red Tanglewood track 2



follow the Tanglewood East 
until the second right turn
onto the faint purple dotted track
to the heavy purple track 5
which comes out at Parkedge Road
then I walk the streets 
down to the village...
On my return I stay on the Tanglewood 


instead of retracing my steps 
up and over the hill
Once is enough!
