9 July 2025 Maroochydore: A Walk in the Neighborhood

 


We wanted to see how the locals live so we took a walk through the nearby neighborhood.  Most of the houses are one story but the newer ones are either split level of two stories.  Of course there were lots of flower gardens and everything was green, a nice touch for the middle of winter.  We walked and actually started sweating, not much shade to shelter us from the sun.  We headed over to our favorite fish shack and had a fine lunch



Where is the Cubs game?


Palm frond themed gate


Solar panels going up on the roof


The walkway gets it's own sign


There it goes


A military grade caravan


A modern home


Love these flowers


Squawk!


A cool way to show a map


Lets all go to the library


A nice layout


A seed library!


Lawn bowling


With a stick?




Lunch was not these two bugs


Instead I got the Tailor Fish


Fish and Chips that is!


Hibiscus blooms


Wow!


A three mile walk and a fish lunch!


Large ships off shore


The osprey has returned


A kayak race


Off shore and moving fast


Zoomed in all the way


10 minutes later a straggler all alone


Another 5 minutes later and another straggler.  I had to time it to even see the kayak as it would dip out of sight in the troughs of the waves


It has been 3 years and 33 days since we began our Migration
