2013 road trip - Day 9

It was a chilly morning in the mountains and the tall trees shaded us from any sun. The fallen logs were covered in moss.

For breakfast we toasted the walnut and raisin sourdough bread from Maleny IGA.

Tuesday night's camping spot was Yuraygir National Park near Grafton. Like all National Parks it wasn't in the GPS and Grafton wasn't close enough to be a useful location. However, Graham's iphone was able to locate the road we needed to take so we used it instead.

The beach at Yuraygir was covered with crab balls.

We'd bought some sausages for dinner as a change from pasta, but as I was cooking them a horde of kookaburras gathered around, staring greedily from branches overhead. I moved the stove to an open area but they followed, sitting on the grass. They started to swoop in and wouldn't be chased away, and eventually one managed to get hold of a sausage from the pan, and they all gathered to squabble over it. I managed to salvage the rest of the sausages by covering them with the saucepan lid, but we decided we'd better eat them in the car.
