A Drive in the Country


Thursday 27th November
Wamuran/Dayboro trip:


Last Thursday 27th we decided as it was a much cooler day we would get out and have a look around the area, I had been told about a nice drive through Wamuran and up over Mt Mee to Dayboro. We packed up a picnic lunch and headed off around 1100am as it was not a long drive very close to where we currently are staying. We drove through onto the D'Agular highway and found our way to Wam or Wamuran where we stopped for fuel for the car, posted some mail and made a loo stop. Nothing really at Wam other than the servo a bakery,post shop and a few other shops all on the main highway. From here we drove up over the Mt Mee range stopping at the lookout for the obligatory photo shots, what a pretty valley the lookout over looked, we could see as far as the Glasshouse Mountains, which are not mountains but large distinct volcano plugs. From here we drove through the range coming to the delightful country township of Dayboro. By now it had warmed up a bit as we were inland, we found a nice spot with a picnic table next to the local swimming pool where the school kids had just finished their swimming sports, great for us as no noise, all the rugrats left with their parents in tow. We had a nice peaceful lunch and cuppa, before heading for a walk along the main street. We took some nice photos before heading back toward Caboolture. We drove the inland road not wanting to head onto the highway. We drove past Lake Kurawonga carrying on through Petrie which is a very nice leafy treed suburb and onto Narangba which is equally as nice having never been through here before. From here we realised we can drive all the way back to Caboolture South without going on the highway which was great. We had a nice drive seeing some nice areas that we had not been to before always good to see what's around locally.
