These are a few of my favourite things

Every time we are up at the Bavarian Hut we stop in at a neighbouring farm to buy fresh, creamy milk.  There is nothing like seeing happy cows and calves grazing in the green fields while stopping at the rustic diary!  Thick cream rises to the top in the milk bottle, not at all like the milk bought from the large grocery stores which in comparison tastes watery.

A little further along the road is Rosins Point, which overlooks the picturesque Mount Warning.  

Hang gliders gently soar riding the wind currents.  This is our favourite place for a picnic, looking at the spectacular views while we sit on the benches made for us.

Further up we drive, negotiating the steep drive up to Lamington National Park. Stopping at the information centre, we find our pathway and set on our walk past waterfalls, caves and Aboriginal drawings through luscious rainforest.  Sometimes the pathway ascends rapidly as we climb up towards Binna Burra marvelling at the views.

Back at the Bavarian Hut, we watch the sunset and take photographs, silent in the orange glow and the darkening shadows.  

Taking a sip of chilled wine, we stack our wood in the burner and watch the warm flames alight.  Knitting quietly or playing cards makes me realise what a lovely retreat this is. I wonder if anyone uses the puzzles I have left as we do have visitors who stay for a week or longer.
