Heavenly conjunction

 

 

 

Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets, close together in the evening sky today, along with a bunch of bats heading out for their night's adventures. The planetary alignment was best a couple of nights ago, but we had overcast skies then.

The Maleny Trail

 
 

A strangely civilised 6km walking trail, starting near Maleny Woolworths, heading north and east through almost English-style countryside. 

 

Then looping around the golf course.

 

 

Soon it's through bits of scenic forest, and clever sculptures and things

 

 

 

You follow the Obi Obi Creek for a while. If you're me, you completely miss the platypus viewing platform, despite that being what inspired you to come here originally. And there's a bat colony somewhere in there too.
