Maroochydore and Montville Qld


Hi All

Since the last blog we have had a good look round Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Caloundra
Has some bad weather over hear and the well-known beach have had a battering most being blown away and the sand has washed out to sea, but other than that also still going well with us.

We head to Montville Qld to look after another small property for two weeks that has 2 horse's and a cattle dog, Montville is like a small English village and has lots of day time tourist's walking around.
The owner Ron and Pat are going bush in their camper trailer and they take their bike but unlike us they do a lot of bike riding around 50 to 100km a day,
Their dogs name is Billy and I take him to the bakery to pick old bread from the day before for the 2 horse's which I have to feed Am and Pm, they are getting used to me or I am getting better at handling them (I bought some carrots to get them on side).

Me and Billy has a 2 to 3 km walk twice a day some time into Montville and the locals all know billy and give him a pat or two some time we have taken him in the car for a day out for walks, one day we took him out to Maroochydore were we had lunch and then took him for a walk along the beach front we tried to on the beach but he did not like the water or the sand, but he is very well behave and is a lovely dog.
Lee feeds the 6 guinea fowl and me twice a day and they just roam around the area and are not caged, unlike me whom can't roam around and I am caged.

We had a good time relaxing and doing small day visits to the other small villages around the area while doing this house sit, We have know moved down to Toowoomba which is large City of about 200,000 people, will add this to are next Blog

We wish you all a happy Easter and be safe.

Noosa and Eumundi


Hi All

Hope this blog find you all well

I have had some problems with my blog, I think it's now fixed so I am adding two post to this one so I hope this one works OK.

3/2/2013
We have been looking around Tewantin, Noosa, Gympie, Tin Can Bay and Sunshine Coast which are all very nice and lots to see and do, We went and had a good walk up and down Hastings St lots on money around this area of Noosa,

Went on a Noosa Sunset Cruise with two couples from our caravan park it was a great way to look at Noosa from the river and have a drink or two

8/3/2013
We have now just finished doing a house sit in Eumundi for 3 weeks looking after a nice property and 3 dogs, Max, Jess and Sissy two poodles and a terrier, we walked them twice a day morning and late afternoon which was very good for us too.

Only had 3 days without rain (I think the rain gods are after us) but did manage to mow the large lawn and still walk dogs with umbrella up most of the time.

We managed to still see lot of the Hinterlands which is a beautiful place and has lots of small lovely towns.

The owner of the property were over the moon with what we had managed to do around their property with all the rain that Eumundi had.

We are currently in Maroochydore will post again when we leave here

All still going great but still miss all of you, stay in touch
