Maryborough (Mary Poppins Festival)
Had a good day today at the Mary Poppins Festival in Maryborough. It is an annual event when the town celebrates the Mary Poppins phenomena. There was a best dressed nanny, nanny races, chimney sweeps and chimney sweep races. Heaps of stalls selling food, nic nacs, vintage car exhibition, workshops for kids, steam engine rides. Heaps to see and do and lots of people. I stuffed my face on delicious mini panckaes with cream and caramel sauce, yummy. The day was beautiful and sunny although a bit on the cool side. Would have taken a lot of organising as there was a lot happening. On the way home we stopped at a conservation park which is know to have koalas and we were lucky enough to see one and it was awake feeding on gum leaves which is unusual we think for the middle of the day. Almost forget we had a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant in Hervey Bay called Santini on the Esplanade. We both had seafood dishes and they were delicious followed by homemade gelato with rhubarb crumble for me and crepes for John. Can recommend it if ever this way. Thank goodness for free days!
