On our way to Peregian Beach, we stopped in a small town, Eumundi, to go to their Wednesday market. Now, this is a "must do" if you are ever in the neighborhood. We planned our mountain/beach trip around this market as it is quite famous.It has been going on since 1979. It is open on Wwednesday and Saturday - about 9 am to 2 pm. And, it was a GREAT market. The only drawback was it was about 36 (96) degrees with high humidity. There were so many beautiful handmade clothes, shoes, and everyting under the hot hot sun!
The Beachcomber Peregian Beach. Perfect. A block off the beach. A swimming pool. Clean.
Watch for kangaroos!

EVERY town has a butcher shop but not every butcher shop has whole black angus rumps for 11.99
These evergreens are really different.

Aussie trivia:
When a shop posts the hours it is open, they call it "trading hours"
Heller trivia: We booked all of our accomodations on Booking.com. A great site and right on with the ratings. WE have not been disappointed yet.
Nice watercolors, Gramsy. Glad to know you have found some time to paint at the beach! The meat market looks interesting. I wonder if they have "roo."
ReplyDeleteJoseph is the coolest bow tie wearing kid on the PLANET! I LOVE his sense of style.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are beautiful. Are you going to sell them at a market or bring them, home?
We had all of our parents over for dinner and my dad asked the minute he got here if we were going to "watch" your blog on our tv again. You are a hit and all of the Schilz's and Wendt's send you a huge hug and are oh so glad you are having such a grand adventure.
The beach looks very enticing and I wonder how cool the water is. Have you been swimming yet? I can see the inspiration in your water colors...Australia has gotten into your soul! It's so much fun to live through your adventures.
