Hinterland Visit

So seeing there's still a bit of time to go and we had a lazy Sunday - we decided to head up to Mount Tamborine for the day.  It's only a half hour trip from where we live on the Gold Coast and there's heaps to do on a day out.
Our first stop was the Polish Place and we enjoyed strong Polish coffee and hot chocolates there.
A rather large goanna wandered through - startling some of the guests, but was very tame.
It was shedding too so parts of its skin were brown and hanging off showing the lovely black with yellow spots underneath.
It was also perfect weather for hang-gliding and the hilltop next door was covered in gliders all waiting to take off.  We stated for around 20 minutes watching them take off and soar over to valley with great views to the West and the Great Dividing Range.
We also stopped at a couple of wineries, did some sampling, visited the glow-worm caves, tried some local cheeses and wandered through Gallery Walk.  What a great way to spend a Sunday.
