Brisbane Day 4 Part 1: Sunshine Coast Kondalilla Falls

We were all up early despite the bad night. We were to hike the Kondalilla Fall and knew that we should avoid hiking in the midday, winter or not.

We had wanted to keep the campervan toilet only for emergency use bcos any use tend to stink up the toilet and it also meant the need to clear up the toilet prior to return. The kids had been reminded too. Yet on the 1st morning, right after I had washed up in the ensuite and was returning to the campervan, I saw Zaky exiting from the campervan toilet. Palm-face. He said that he was very urgent and probably forgot that our site came with an ensuite. Zzzzzz. By the way, this is how the ensuite looks like.
It comes with basin, toilet and shower. Though simple, it was a luxury than to use the common toilet and bath.

Since Zaky was up, he helped with bfast.

It was challenging with the pan and the tight space.

Zaky'a master piece.
Bfast was simple with bread, eggs, ham and cereal.
We took some time to wash up and clear up the "bed" before starting our journey. Part of our journey was protected by the "Transformer".
It was mummy and Zaky behind today.
We were to hike the Kondalilla Fall. From our research, we could do a full loop, which will take about 2 hours.
Picture 1st before the start of the hike.
The bird was our guide, leading us onto the track.
This was our x overseas hike and the kids had been asking for hiking sticks. We got cheap ones from Decathlon some weeks back and finally got to use them.
The hike started with a descent, which was so weird bcos all our previous hikes start with an ascent - bitter 1st, sweet later.

The 1st stop point was a mini waterfall.

Then, the rock pool.


The view was spectacular.
I wanted to help Lil Shauna take a picture to be posted in Instagram and she said that instangramable pictures must be backview. What? I is old already; no idea at all.

Old people also want.
Family pix.
Then, it was more walking and descend to the bottom of the waterfall.
Along the way, we saw many Halloween worthy decor pieces.
Big tree too.
Finally at the bottom.

At the turnaround point, we needed to refuel - chips!
Then up, up, up, all the way back to the campervan.

At some point, God turned off the sunlight.
We made it back. Another hike conquered. Yay!
