RSPCA Million Paws Walk, Caboolture
Went to the Million Paws Walk today in Caboolture (about 25kms east). The walk is held at Centenary Lakes which is a lovely park that we have driven by a couple of times and always said we should stop so today was a good excuse. Nowhere near as many people as we thought would be there, we envisaged it to be packed. We had a good walk though and the park is really pretty. Unfortunately it was not as well organised as it could have been. We thought the walk began at 10.00am (as do all the others) and it started at 9.30am so we were late, the online tickets also had a 10.00am start and the registration fee was $3.00 more than the webpage stated. There were no signs to show which way to walk. There were 3 walks 1, 2 and 3km. As we were late and didn’t know which way to go and the event staff weren’t sure, we had to make up our own walk and eventually found a group that we tagged on to. Despite this, we all enjoyed the walk. There was no stalls selling coffees, pet and doggie stuff and organised activities that we are used to, so quite a surprise and when the walk was finished everyone went home. So quite different to the ones we have done in Perth and Busselton where there are lots of things organised, to do and see. There was a doggie wash who wanted $23/wash! Consequently didn’t see anyone getting their dog washed. We also went to Bribie Island for a look. Another 25 odd kms to southeast from Caboolture. This is not far from Brisbane and is a popular coastal holiday area. Don’t know what we were expecting but we weren’t inspired. It was quite nice but nothing spectacular (at least we didn’t think so). I just think we are too spoilt by the WA coastline. Although today is very overcast, cold and miserable and it was windy by the water so we didn’t see it at its best. It was much bigger than we thought it would be with lots of residential areas and houses on marinas/canals (similar to Port Geo and Mandurah Quays). There were some nice views of the Glass House Mountains and on a clear day would have been some good pics.
