Wondai parkrun this morning – adding another letter to our
alphabet, and catching up with some fellow Sunshine Coast runners. This is a lovely welcoming parkrun that uses
the rail trail south from Wondai, so again smooth bitumen and gentle gradients
– recommend! http://www.parkrun.com.au/wondai/
After packing up we headed
south along the rail trail to Kingaroy. We
visited the Kingaroy Heritage Museum which is dedicated to the peanut industry
and had all sorts of ingenious devices developed to make the growing and
harvesting of peanuts easier.

Of course,
we also checked out the enormous peanut silos across the road. We also visited the Peanut Van to try some
flavoured peanuts – Maple Bacon and Salt and Vinegar – it was a big decision as
there were so many choices!
Maidenwell was our next stop for a delicious lunch at The
Trading Post, followed by a swim at Coomba Falls. The lunch was awesome and really solid
serves.
Then onto Cooyar Swinging Bridge
– it is quite high.
The Palms National
Park was one we had never heard of and is very small, but well worth the stop
for a walk. It has a surprisingly large
variety of plants and animals for such a small park.
And then onto home. A quick trip but really enjoyable.
