Some retail therapy at Kimz in Warana...where I got a lovely welcome...
Where I found some lovely cream with gold flecks fabric, some Christmas prints and some off white homespun for tracing some Christmas designs on to. While I waited my turn to be served I eavesdropped on an overlocker maintenance lesson and heard about 'Dust away'. I thought, not only the sewing machines but the computer keyboards at home, could benefit from that product, so I bought a can.
DH had decided that he needed some new shorts for playing golf in, so our next stop was at the Eumundi Markets . This is a rather large market which is open for business Wednesdays and Saturdays. I didn't think to take any photos showing all the market stalls situated along the town's main street and continuing on down the hill in orderly rows. And in the next photo, instead of the stalls on the side of the hill, you can just see the lovely trees that the stalls nestle under.
To cater for the huge crowds that come to these markets, there is a large car park beside a purpose built markets' building below the hill which slopes down from the main street...
Garden sculptures were in evidence near this building...
The dusty carpark at Eumundi...
No luck finding shorts for DH at the markets though...
Our next stop was the Buderim Ginger Factory which is actually in Yandina. (it moved from Buderim a number of years ago)
And just as we arrived, the little tourist train was passing the entrance...
I loved the tropical gardens at the Ginger Factory...

I really love visiting the Ginger Factory. Looks like you had a very busy day.
hey Maria, Maybe you can make him a pair of shorts out of some of the fabric you bought ... hehe! I bet he doesn't wear them!! Sue
It does take those boys a while to realize some things. Glad you got to Kimz - I always have fun there.
