The trip to the museum was pretty good. They had dinosaur things, some crazy deep sea fish displays, and Ollie got to help fire a canon. The canon had all the actions, and some noise, but no real canon balls.

| Walking in Paluma Range National Park. |
On Thursday, we went to Paluma. It was about 18 degrees up on the mountain. We all had tshirt and shorts on, so it was on the too chilly side for the little ones. The first walk near the bridge, and the last one in the rainforest were comfortable. But out to McClellands lookout was exposed to the elements on top of the mountain, and a bit windy, so there were some complaints.

Lunch was at Balgal beach, were we failed to find somewhere nice for a swim. The local cafe people were great though. The boys played with the owners son of the same age.
Had dinner at the Royal Hotel, since it is such a nice old Qld pub. It was ok.
On Friday, we had a lazy day on the beach, an ice cream. At night we went to Cutheringa Bowling Club, where Marie chatted to a captive audience of old men, while me and the boys played barefoot bowls. Ollie scraped the boxes on the green and Louis launched a lego helicopter thing, so not super relaxing, but still a great intro to the game for everyone.
