Looks like a tourist

Not sure it did really, at least not most of the tourists we get here on the Sunshine Coast. Maybe it was designed as comment about Western tourists in third world holiday places.

I came across it at Cotton Tree this evening. 'Looks like a tourist' was part of the Horizon Festival, currently being played out in Cotton Tree and elsewhere on the Coast. It's 'a visual spectacle that saturates the landscape bringing our attention to the complexities of being a visitor in a new place'.

 

 

 

 

 

And then they went home....

Montville & Mapleton

 

Along with Maleny and Eumundi, Montville and Mapleton are pretty little Sunday afternoon outing sorts of towns. Full of cafes and arty and crafty type shops.

And views, often spectacular. Montville is perfect for gazing out over the coastal areas to its east.

And just to the west of Mapleton you get to peer down the other way. Here's the view to the west from the Mapleton Falls Lookout.

I gather there's interesting bushwalking to be done in the Blackall Range around here. One walk seems to be known simply as 'Great Walk'. I'd better check it out soon.
