A DELICIOUS stopover at the Ginger Factory
Sadly we did not take a photo of the heavenly ginger scones with creme and ginger marmalade. We craved them the rest of the trip.



2013.08.01 11:59
On the ginger factory train.



2013.08.01 11:59
Choo, choo!



2013.08.01 12:01

2013.08.01 12:07
The chickens are so smart and wait for the train.



2013.08.01 12:07
As the conductor feeds them. Chickens can run fast!



2013.08.01 12:08
Some old farming equipment.



2013.08.01 12:11



2013.08.01 12:15
Graham loving the digger.



2013.08.01 12:16
What a cool "ride"



2013.08.01 12:21
Donna likes this old car.



2013.08.01 12:23
Madeleine tries her hand at digging.



2013.08.01 12:28
We love our factory tours. Okay, Nancy LOVES them and the kids are starting to learn to love them.

That is a lot of candied ginger.



2013.08.01 12:52



2013.08.01 13:00
We even had a ginger tasting afterwards. Sadly we were all so stuffed from lunch we could barely eat.









2013.08.01 13:00
Madeleine loving her ginger soda.









2013.08.01 13:01









2013.08.01 13:11
This is "mature" ginger - they make their candies from the young ginger which harvests earlier in the season.



2013.08.01 14:17



2013.08.01 15:14
We arrive at our wonderful, luxurious B&B/Farmstay: Jacaranda Creek Farmstay - Eumundi.



2013.08.01 17:38
We had two huge one bedroom apartments and a huge common room.



2013.08.02 05:22
Enjoying the scrumptious breakfast. The cobbler was divine.









2013.08.02 05:24



2013.08.02 05:33
This is just the cooked food. The yogurts and fruits and cereals were just as heavenly.



2013.08.02 09:35
Noosa Heads
A BEAUTIFUL beachtown and resort like atmosphere.



2013.08.02 09:42
Donna shops, the boys play on the beach.



2013.08.02 09:43
Madeleine and Nancy enjoy lunch at Berardo's Bistro on the Beach.



2013.08.02 09:44
Sitting here at lunch, in Noosa, Nancy is reminded of a photo 4 years ago, see next picture



2013.08.02 09:45
This is Madeleine in Noosa in March of 2009. What a difference 4 years makes.



2013.08.02 09:49



2013.08.02 09:52
Some incredibly amazing oysters from Tasmania. They tasted like Atlantic ocean oysters but were genetically Pacific Ocean oysters.



2013.08.02 09:52
Madeleine is such a sophisticated diner!



2013.08.02 09:53
Well, she's not quite read for oysters yet.









2013.08.02 10:16
The salmon was perfect with Parmesan Potato Gnocchi, Garden Peas, and Pea Puree.









2013.08.02 10:17
Madeleine loving the linguine.



2013.08.02 10:32
Nancy sat at this seat for hours...first Madeleine ate, then Graham ate lunch.



2013.08.02 10:48
Mother and Son.



2013.08.02 10:48
The poor diners as Graham sticks his butt in the view.



2013.08.02 13:09
Walking the Noosa Heads coastal hike.









2013.08.02 13:10
popular place for surfers









2013.08.02 13:10

2013.08.02 13:41
It would be nice to sit on a surfboard out at sea for hours on end. So pretty.









2013.08.02 13:43
Grandma was a good walker too.

Graham wanted to throw all the rocks into the ocean.









2013.08.02 14:03
He tried for a while.



2013.08.02 14:04
There were so many different rocks to choose from.
