A crisp morning at the Boonah Valley Motel
Continental breakfast in our rooms but a coffee stop in downtown Boonah before we set off
Our destination today was Mt Cordeaux
A unanimous decision that today’s walk was preferable to yesterday. Longer but easier walking and very different plant and animal life, including wallabies, pademelons and lyrebirds despite Mt Cordeaux only being a few hundred metres apart from Mt Mitchell.
Evidence of gold mining from the 1890s - albeit futile
Mt Cordeaux
Then we explored more of the area

Then we explored more of the area
This section was full of enormous red-speared plants, like Gymea lilies
Lunch on Bare Rock watching eagles soaring
We also explored Morgan’s Walk which ended in a grassy terrace with fabulous views
Enormous strangler figs along the path
Refreshments on the way back at Haig Park on a man-made lake, Lake Moongerah, with views of the Scenic Rim peaks
Discovered a blue-faced honey-eater on a nearby tree
A return to the Indian restaurant for dinner in Boonah as it was such a hit last night.
A fabulous day!
