Melbourne to Mooloolaba Queensland

Mooloolaba: S 36 40'.17 E 153 07'.73 

We left Melbourne on the  6th July by road and drove into NSW before the border  was shut for Victorians. After spending 15 days in northern NSW we entered Qld, spent a few pleasant days at my sisters in Brisbane then headed to Kirra Kirra, left in the marina at Mooloolaba since last year.

All was in fine order aboard, and after several days provisioning we headed off north.

Some photos to keep your interest.

Police patrol, Mooloolaba. The ships coming into Brisbane have pilots aboard that are based in Mooloolaba. This sized cop craft is not for helping fishos who have run out of fuel - I suspect drug smugglers are their target!!

Ossie the Osprey taking off from Kirra Kirra's mast, where the pair of resident ospreys had taken to having their breakfast and dinner of fresh fish caught 10 metres away in the river. Fantastic birds but we objected to bits of fish littering the front deck. Trouble some days in dislodging these mighty birds by shaking the rigging - hard!! They chirped their annoyance, but did not luckily attack or make a deposit!.

I thought Archimedes  invented the screw. 

Its a wrap around vine.
