Dot and I were traveling from Caboolture, just north of Brisbane, to a 3-day conference at Urangan near Hervey Bay. We stayed overnight at a motel at Caboolture and departed early on the 3+ hour trip north and needed some breakfast badly. We decided to stop at Nambour and found ourselves passing the big pineapple, which we hadn't visited for years since Emily and Rebecca were young. Australia has lots of big things ... sheep, bananas, prawns and, well, the pineapple shown here.
Well, we found a farmer's market and alternative food stalls selling interesting things. I bought some Dutch-style waffles with berries and ice-cream and some Greek baklava, neither my usual fare. Indeed the Dutchman who served me came originally from Haarlem, which I visited in May and was blown over when I mentioned the connection.
And, while we sat and ate our breakfast out on the extensive veranda, we were serenaded by a couple of female jazz musicians, which was very pleasant. The views across the pineapple plantation were also serene at 8 am! This was definitely something to repeat should we come this way again.
