At least we were in the shade so we walked back the same way rather that follow a path on the other side of the water, as that was in full sun. We then drove and parked at Victoria Point and caught the ferry across to Coochiemudlo Island. Since we were here last there are two new Ferry Terminals that are both wheelchair friendly with ramps instead of the stairs. As arranged we met up with Anne (from Tamborine Mountain) over there and then we had morning tea together. It was very windy on that side of the Island but we were all ready to eat and couldn't wait any longer. Anne walked and talked with us until we got around to the other side of the Island (which was lovely and calm and sheltered) and then she left us to visit her friend that lived on the Island. It was lovely to catch up with her even for such a short time.

We walked a track near the mangroves and then came out near the Community Centre where we had a look at the view back to Victoria Point. We then walked down to the Golf Course and onto the beach. We then walked along the sand and then the rocks and back up to the road. We had a look at the brightly painted Railway Carriages and the animals. We didn't see the donkey this time. Walked back down the road to near the beach where the car ferry comes in and then sat and had our lunch in the shelter shed. The toilet block has some lovely murals painted on them. Was a little bit windy but not as bad as the place we had morning tea.

We caught the 1.45 pm Ferry back to Victoria Point and were pleasantly surprised by a family of Curlews (parents and chick).  They didn't seem too bothered by our presence walking past so we were able to get good photos of them.

We continued on for some yummy refreshments at the Wishing Well Cafe. A small group today but we all had a lovely day nevertheless - Julie
