We celebrated Father's Day here last Sunday and apart from a special breakfast it ended up being a quiet day. Hubby was heading back to work early the next morning so a big outing wasn't really an option.
Having said that, Hubby ended up on the roof at one stage cleaning our solar panels and I cleaned up our outdoor area. It's now swept, the table and chairs have been scrubbed and it's had a bit of a tidy up so we can enjoy sitting out there now that the weather is warming up quickly.
A really lovely place to visit, especially in warmer weather is Gardners Falls just outside of Maleny. It's only a 15 to 20 minute drive from home and a nice spot to spend some time.
There's an easy access path from the car park so you don't need to do any kind of strenuous hike to get there.
A word of warning though, the car park is only small so on weekends and during the warmer months it can be difficult to find a spot to park.
It's a really popular place, especially with the locals as there are a couple of good swimming holes.
Oh and there are no public toilets so keep that in mind if you're planning on visiting but it is only a 5 minute drive to Maleny where there's plenty of cafe's, shops and amenities.
There's a few different ways you can drive home from Maleny but on this particular day I decided I wanted views.
We do live in a beautiful part of the world and I couldn't resist the below shot of the cows in their prime real estate location.
It's only the 4th day of Spring and at 10.30 am it was already 30 degrees Celsius so the cows were finding patches of shade where they could.
I am not looking forward to summer.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week.
xx Susan

It sounds like a good day to honor a good husband and father! What a nice falls! I like places that are not a difficult hike to get to! Have a super week! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
This looks like a lovely spot for a visit (and some skinny dipping). x
30C crikey, I start to melt at 20C! Here the weather's turned decidedly cooler at around 15C and that's more to my liking. I couldn't live anywhere hot and being on the coast we have a constant cooling breeze. I love the views though. The waterfall looks like a lovely, cool place to enjoy. Best, Jane x
It looks beautiful at the falls. I expect it's a good place to visit when the summer temperatures are high. The pools look the perfect place to cool off (with or without clothing). X
